<em><u>a) What is the probability that the number chosen is a multiple of 3 given that it is a factor of 24?</u></em>
<em />
From the whole numbers 1 to 15, the multiples of 3 that are factors of 24 are in the intersection of the two sets: 3, 6, and 12.
There are a total of 7 multiples of 24, from 1 to 15.
Then, there are 3 multiples of 3 out of 7 factors of 24, and the probability that the number chosen is a multiple of 3 given that is a factor of 24 is:
- 3/7
<em><u /></em>
<em><u>b) What is the probability that the number chosen is a factor of 24 given that it is a multiple of 3?</u></em>
The factors of 24 that are multiples of 3 are, again, 3, 6, and 12. Thus, 3 numbers.
The multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15: 5 numbers.
Then, the probability that the number chosen is a factor of 24 given that is a multiple of 3 is:
- 3/5

Which is not a function
An ordered pair is represented as:
However, for the ordered pair to be a function; all the x values must be unique (i.e. not repeated)
<em>From options (a) to (d), option (b) has -6 repeated twice. Hence, it is not a function.</em>
