Answer to Question 1

Cluster analysis is a multivariate approach for identifying objects or individuals that are similar to one another in some respect. It classifies individuals or objects into a small number of mutually exclusive and exhaustive groups. Objects or individuals are assigned to groups so that there is great similarity within groups and much less similarity between groups. The cluster should have high internal (within-cluster) homogeneity and external (between-cluster) heterogeneity. Cluster analysis facilitates market segmentation by identifying subjects or individuals who have similar needs, lifestyles, or responses to marketing mixes.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
