What type of set is A = {x : x is a day of a week}?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Finite set
A week has exactly seven days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The set described in the question therefore contains seven distinct elements. Since its elements can be completely counted and the counting ends at seven, this is a finite set, not an infinite or empty set.
