centroids d. all of the above
Mathematics

mestny [16]3 years ago

Answer:

d. all of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

K-means clustering is a term used to describe a technique of vector quantization, that attempts to partition "n" observations into "k" clusters whereby each observation refers to the cluster with the closest mean which represents a model of the cluster.

This implies that the K-means algorithm recognizes the "k" number of centroids, and then assigns every data point to the closest cluster while the centroids remain as small as possible.

Hence, the following is required of K-means clustering:

1. defined distance metric

2. number of clusters

3. initial guess of centroids

Therefore, in this case, the correct answer is option D: All of the above.

the lateral area of a cone is 574 pi cm2. The radius is 19.6 cm. What is the slant height to the nearest tenth of a centimeter?
bulgar [2K]
\bf \textit{lateral area of a cone}\\\\
LA=\pi r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
\sqrt{r^2+h^2}=slant~height\\
-----------\\
LA=574\pi \\
r=19.6
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
574\pi =\pi (19.6)\sqrt{r^2+h^2}\implies \cfrac{574\pi }{19.6\pi }=\sqrt{r^2+h^2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{574}{19.6}=\sqrt{r^2+h^2}

Wewaii [24]
<span>Based on the rules of statistics</span>

 68% of the data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean

95% of the data falls within 2 standard deviation of the mean

99% of the data falls within 3 standard deviation of the mean

 20 falls between the range of -56 to 56 (from the given 95%)

Hence we accept the null hypothesis; else, if the mean falls outside the range, we reject the null hypothesis.

Katarina [22]

Answer:

$28.35

Step-by-step explanation:

The headphones are $80.99 and are 35% off. To find the amount he will save, change the 35% to a decimal by moving it two times to the left, which is 0.35. Multiply 80.99 and 0.35 to get 28.3465. Round to get $28.35.
