[ 3 6 pts ] Consider the following eight two - dimensional data points: x 1 ( 1 5 , 1 0 ) , x

[36 pts] Consider the following eight two-dimensional data points:
x1(15,10), x2(3,10), x3(15,12), x4(3,14), x5(18,13), x6(1,7), x7(10,1), x8(10,30)
You are required to apply the k-means algorithm to cluster these points using the Euclidean distance. You need to show the information about each final cluster (including the mean of the cluster and all data points in this cluster).
(a)[8 pts] If k =2 and the initial means are (10,1) and (10,30), what is the output of the algorithm?
(b)[8 pts] If k =3 and the initial means are (10,1),(10,30), and (3,10), what is the output of the algorithm?
(c)[8 pts] If k =4 and the initial means are (10,1),(10,30),(3,10), and (15,10), what is the output of the algorithm?
(d)[12 pts] What are the advantages and disadvantages of algorithm k-means? For each disadvantage, please also give a suggestion to enhance the algorithm.
