Given а dаtаset оf $$N$$ distinct pоints, we run the k-Means algоrithms to find $$k$$ clusters. Effectively, this is to find a (local) minimum for the following objective function: (The loss function, J, is calculated by summing the euclidean distance between each of the points and the cluster centroid for a given cluster. This is repeated for all the clusters. These sums are then added and that results in the loss function, J.) where x represent a data point, $$mu_i$$ is the $$i$$-th cluster center, and $$D_i$$ is the $$i$$-th subset that is assigned to $$mu_i$$. For all values of $$k$$ in the range of 1 to $$N$$ (i.e., $$1le k le N$$), what is the least possible value for $$J$$ from the k-Means algorithm?
