This problem does not require the use of data mining software and focuses on knowledge of concepts and basic calculations.
Jay Gatsby categorizes wines into one of three clusters. The centroids of these clusters, describing the average characteristics of a wine in each cluster, are listed in the following table.
Characteristic Cluster 1 Cluster 2 Cluster 3 Alcohol 0.8190.1640.937 Malic Acid 0.3290.8690.368 Ash 0.2480.1860.393 Alkalinity 0.6770.5230.249 Magnesium 0.6430.0750.573 Phenols 0.8250.9770.034 Flavonoids 0.8961.2120.083 Nonflavonoids 0.5950.7240.009 Proanthocyanidins 0.6190.7780.010 Color Intensity 0.1350.9390.881 Hue 0.4971.1620.437 Dilution 0.7441.2890.295 Proline 1.1170.4060.776
