1. **State the problem:** We want to determine if the number of hot dogs eaten can be represented as a function of eye color. 2. **Recall the definition of a function:** A function from set A to set B assigns exactly one element of B to each element of A. In other words, each input (eye color) must have exactly one output (number of hot dogs eaten). 3. **Analyze the data:** Eye Color: Blue, Green, Brown, Hazel, Blue, Hazel Hot Dogs: 3, 2, 5, 1, 2, 4 4. **Check for repeated inputs with different outputs:** - Blue appears twice with outputs 3 and 2. - Hazel appears twice with outputs 1 and 4. 5. Since the same eye color corresponds to different numbers of hot dogs eaten, the relation does not assign a unique output to each input. 6. **Conclusion:** The number of hot dogs eaten cannot be represented as a function of eye color because the same eye color maps to multiple different values.
