K-means is an extensively used unsupervised algorithm where its simplicity and fast speed allow it to solve well-known clustering problems . The K-means algorithm partitions data points into k clusters by minimizing the sum of the squared distance between the point [67,68] and its nearest neighbor set distance as shown in Figure 12.

Solved (A) Use Prim's algorithm to construct a minimum
Every connected graph G has at least one spanning tree T. Spanning trees are often used to find the lowest cost or lowest weight ways to connect a graph. To do this, one uses a weighted graph where each edge is associated with a weight or cost. One algorithm to find a minimum weight spanning graph is Prim's algorithm. It works as follows: 1.
