Medoid is that point whose Euclidean distance from Mean is minimum . So first find out the Mean
Mean = 7 3 + 1 + 5 + 1 + 6 + 2 + 7 = 7 2 5 = 3.55 |3-3.55| = 0.55 , |1-3.55| = 2.55 , |5-3.55| = 1.45 , |1-3.55| = 2.55 |6-3.55| = 2.45 , |2-3.55| = 1.55 , |7-3.55| = 3.45
so here minimum distance is 0.55 which is at 3 . So the Medoid is 3 .
