What kind of set is A = {x : x is a natural number less than 100}?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Finite set
The natural numbers less than 100 are 1, 2, 3, ..., 99, using the usual school convention that natural numbers begin with 1. This list has a fixed number of members, namely 99, and it ends at 99. A set with a limited, countable number of elements is called a finite set.
