K Means Clustering Solved Numerical
MAY 2, 2021

K means clustering is a unsupervised learning algorithm. NO target or dependent variable is mentioned in input data. Here we try to make groups or clusters of data points.

Numerical – Using K means clustering algorithm form two clusters for given data.

As per question we need to form 2 clusters, So for that we consider first two data points of our data and assign them as a centroid for each cluster as shown below

Now we need to assign each and every data point of our data to one of these clusters based on Euclidean distance calculation.

Here (X0,Y0) is our data point and (Xc,Yc) is a centroid of a particular cluster. Lets consider the next data point i.e. 3rd data point(168,60) and check its distance with the centroid of
both clusters.

Now we can see from calculations that 3rd data point(168,60) is more closer to k2(cluster 2), so we assign it to k2. After that we need to modify the centroid of k2 by using the old
centroid values and new data point which we just assigned to k2.

Now after new centroid calculations we got new centroid value for k2 as (169,58) and k1 centroid value will remain the same as NO new data point is added to that cluster(k1). We
need to repeat the above mentioned procedure until all data points are over. The final answer is mentioned below, you can check your answers.
