K-Means retrieval · Data Playground

Outputs you create

answer: The requested result, with the values, labels and row order described by this task.

Exercise evidence · ML-U-R1-1 · all 4 rows
`length`	`width`	`species`
1	2	A
2	1	B
4	4	A
5	3	B

Your task

Select measurements only into answer.
Leave species out of both fitting and choice of group count; an external comparison comes after the grouping is fixed.

answer

Hints

Think: Fitting omitted species, but selection of k still used that reference label. Select a grouping from measurement geometry, profiles and exploratory purpose before inspecting species. A later descriptive comparison with species can inform interpretation without becoming the fitting or selection objective.

Tools: K-Means retrieval: use the supplied length, width, species columns and the pandas or model operations introduced in this lesson.

Approach: Compute answer from the supplied evidence. Preserve the requested labels and row order, then inspect the values before checking.

Explained solution

answer = df[['length','width']].copy()
