Choose the correct option for the set I = {x : x ∈ ℤ, 2 < x < 3}.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: I = ∅
The set contains integers strictly greater than 2 and strictly less than 3. The only numbers between 2 and 3 are non-integers, while there is no integer in this open interval. Therefore, no integer satisfies the condition, so the set has no elements and is the empty set, written as ∅.
