Table 1.43

a) The number of female senators is a function of the Congresss number, c, because each input has one unique output. Also, S is influenced by c. b) The Congresss number is not a function of the number of female senators because each input (S) has several outputs (c). c) If S(c) represents the number of female senators serving in the cth conference, then S(104)=8 means that in the 104th conference, there are eight female senator serving. d) Using table 1.43, one can see that when c is equal to 110, S is equal to 16. Thus, S(110)=16. In interpreting S(100)=16, one can come to the conclusion that in the 110th conference, there were sixteen female senators serving.
