Question: Using the following data on the Observations 1 0 , 1 3 , 4 , and 2 0 , confirm that the complete linkage distance

Using the following data on the Observations 10,13,4, and 20, confirm that the complete linkage distance between the cluster containing {10,13} and the cluster containing {4,20} is 2.577 units as displayed in the dendrogram.
If required, round your answers to three decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Distance from Observation 10 and Observation 4:
1.492
Distance from Observation 10 and Observation 20:
2.055
Distance from Observation 13 and Observation 4:
2.577
Distance from Observation 13 and Observation 20:
2.226
Based on complete linkage, the merger of cluster {10,13} and cluster {4,20} is
the largest
of these four distances. Thus, the increase in within-cluster dissimilarity of the new merged cluster
- Select your answer -
based on the distance between Observation 13 and Observation 4.
