3. The Agglomerative Single-Link and Complete Link algorithms are influenced by what value we choose as the threshold for considering two points to be part of a cluster. Using the data from the sample problem shown in class, determine at which values the number and components of the clusters would change for these algorithms (show the clusters using each threshold value).
