Question

A Peter-Paul Mounds package contains two de- licious chocolate-covered coconut candy bars. Suppose you had infinitely many Mounds packages: one for each natural number. Does the collection of individual candy bars have the same cardinality as the set of natural numbers?

Answer 1

No, the collection of individual candy bars does not have the same cardinality as the set of natural numbers. The candy bars are countable but not infinite.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the collection of individual candy bars does not have the same cardinality as the set of natural numbers. The set of natural numbers, also known as the counting numbers, is an infinite set. Each natural number has a unique value and there is no repetition. On the other hand, if there are infinitely many Mounds packages, each package contains two candy bars. So, the collection of individual candy bars is countable but not infinite.
