3. In BIRCH, using number of points NN, sum of points SUMSUM, and sum of squared points SSSS, we can determine the centroid and radius of the combination of any two clusters A and B. How do you determine the radius of the combined cluster?

a. Radius=SSANA−(SUMANA)2+SSBNB−(SUMBNB)2Radius = \sqrt{ \frac{SS_A}{N_A} – \left(\frac{SUM_A}{N_A}\right)^2 + \frac{SS_B}{N_B} – \left(\frac{SUM_B}{N_B}\right)^2 }
b. Radius=SSANA−(SUMANA)2+SSBNB−(SUMBNB)2Radius = \sqrt{ \frac{SS_A}{N_A} – \left(\frac{SUM_A}{N_A}\right)^2 } + \sqrt{ \frac{SS_B}{N_B} – \left(\frac{SUM_B}{N_B}\right)^2 }
c. Radius=SSA+SSBNA+NB−(SUMA+SUMBNA+NB)2Radius = \sqrt{ \frac{SS_A + SS_B}{N_A + N_B} – \left(\frac{SUM_A + SUM_B}{N_A + N_B}\right)^2 }
d. Radius=SSANA+SSBNB−(SUMA+SUMBNA+NB)2Radius = \sqrt{ \frac{SS_A}{N_A} + \frac{SS_B}{N_B} – \left(\frac{SUM_A + SUM_B}{N_A + N_B}\right)^2 }

4. Statement 1: CURE is robust to outliers.
Statement 2: Because of multiplicative shrinkage, the effect of outliers is dampened.

a. Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is true. Statement 2 is the correct reason for statement 1.
b. Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is true. Statement 2 is not the correct reason for statement 1.
c. Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is false.
d. Both statements are false.

7. In rand-index calculation, aa represents true positives (pairs of points belonging to the same cluster), and bb represents true negatives (pairs of points belonging to different clusters). How are the rand-index and accuracy related?

a. 1600, 1522
b. 1500, 1482
c. 1000, 1000
d. 1797, 1742
