If A = {1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3}, what is n(A), the number of elements in A?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 3
A set records membership, not the number of times an element is written. Repeated occurrences of 2 and 3 are ignored, so the given set is equivalent to {1, 2, 3}. These are three distinct elements. Hence the cardinality n(A) is 3, making option A the only correct answer.
