Overview¶

In this assignment, you’ll be designing, implementing, and using k-means clustering, a technique often used in machine learning. By the end of this assignment, you will:

• Be familiar with how to implement a clustering algorithm and use it for data analysis.
• Write Python code using lists and dictionaries for computational problem solving.

Submission¶

This homework is split into two parts to help break down the task into more manageable chunks:

• Part 1: Submit kmeans.py with at least Part 1 completed by Monday, May 1^st.
• Part 2: Submit kmeans.py and analysis.py with all parts completed by Friday, May 5^th.
