Question No. 1
Consider the following datasets for banknote authentication. The dataset consists of genuine and
forged banknotes in the form of features extracted from these banknotes. Each row represents a
feature vector extracted from a banknote and ends with “0” or “1”, where zero and one represent
forged and genuine banknotes, respectively.
Your task is to apply K-means and agglomerative clustering algorithms to divide banknotes into
two clusters and plot the results.
