True or False: Every finite set is countable.

Correct Answer

True

Explanation

True. A finite set \(S \sim \{1, 2, ..., n\}\) for some \(n\), and \(\{1, 2, ..., n\}\) is itself a subset of \(\mathbb{N}\). So by the definition of countable (equivalent to a subset of positive integers), every finite set is countable. Countability thus includes both finite and countably infinite sets.
