Noc20-Cs28 Week 08 Assignment 01 PDF

This document is a practice assignment for the NPTEL Data Science for Engineers course. It contains 5 multiple choice questions about k-means clustering and k-nearest neighbors (kNN) algorithms. For each question, the student's answer is marked as incorrect along with the correct answer provided. The questions cover topics like the distance metric used in k-means, how k-means clustering works, properties of the kNN algorithm, the importance of scaling data for distance-based algorithms, and the goal of k-means clustering.
