Case 1: The objects are the students in a class. There are groups for each official grade students received for the class.

Case 2: The objects are cities. There are groups of cities corresponding to various locations, namely, county (local region), state or province, and country.

Case 3: The objects are the applicants to a college. Each applicant is assigned a score from 0 to 10 indicating the likelihood/desirability of their admission. Even before any decisions have been made, the admissions personnel view the students as belonging to two groups: those that will be accepted and those that will be rejected.
