Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The example of a professional gardener buying plants at a lower price is not an example of price discrimination as it is based on a different type of transaction (wholesale vs. retail) rather than discriminating based on the characteristics of the buyer. The other examples involve charging different prices based on different characteristics of customers such as their travel plans, usage patterns, or age.
