### **Silhouette score**
[Silhouette analysis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silhouette_(clustering)) can be used to study the separation distance between the resulting clusters. This score varies from -1 to 1, and if the score is near 1, the cluster is dense and well-separated from other clusters. A value near 0 represents overlapping clusters with samples very close to the decision boundary of the neighboring clusters.[source](https://dzone.com/articles/kmeans-silhouette-score-explained-with-python-exam).

The average silhouette method computes the average silhouette of observations for different values of *k*. A high average silhouette score indicates a good clustering.

## **Variance**
Variance is defined as "the average of the squared differences from the Mean" [source](https://www.mathsisfun.com/data/standard-deviation.html). In the context of this clustering problem, it refers to data that the numbers of our dataset tend to diverge a bit too much from the mean.

✅ This is a great moment to think about all the ways you could correct this issue. Tweak the data a bit more? Use different columns? Use a different algorithm? Hint: Try [scaling your data](https://www.mygreatlearning.com/blog/learning-data-science-with-k-means-clustering/) to normalize it and test other columns.
