No, it is not a function. The domain is the set {8,7,6,5}. The range is the set {−1,3,2}.

No, it is not a function. The domain is the set {−1,3,2}. The range is the set {8,7,6,5}

Yes, it is a function. The domain is the set {8,7,6,5}. The range is the set {−1,3,2}

Yes, it is a function. The domain is the set {-1, 3, 2}. The range is the set {8, 7, 6, 5}

To determine if the given data represents a function, we need to check if each input (first value) has exactly one output (second value).

The given pairs are:
- (8, 2)
- (7, 3)
- (6, 2)
- (5, 2)

In this case:
- The input 8 maps to the output 2.
- The input 7 maps to the output 3.
- The input 6 maps to the output 2.
- The input 5 maps to the output 2.

The inputs are {8, 7, 6, 5}, which are unique, but the output 2 is associated with both 8 and 6, which means that the same input can produce different outputs (which is allowed), but every input is associated with one output.

Thus, this data can be considered a function, as each input corresponds to exactly one output.

Now, let's identify the domain and range:
- The **domain** is the set of all first elements (inputs): {8, 7, 6, 5}.
- The **range** is the set of all second elements (outputs): {2, 3}.

Now we can evaluate the responses provided:

1. **No, it is not a function. The domain is the set {8,7,6,5}. The range is the set {−1, 3, 2}.**
- Incorrect, as it is indeed a function, and the range is not correctly listed.

2. **No, it is not a function. The domain is the set {−1,3,2}. The range is the set {8, 7, 6, 5}**
- Incorrect. It's still a function, and the domain and range are incorrectly listed.

3. **Yes, it is a function. The domain is the set {8,7,6,5}. The range is the set {−1,3,2}.**
- Incorrect, it correctly identifies it as a function but has an incorrect range.

4. **Yes, it is a function. The domain is the set {-1, 3, 2}. The range is the set {8, 7, 6, 5}.**
- Incorrect. It incorrectly identifies the domain and range.

Hence, the correct conclusion is:
**Yes, it is a function. The domain is {8, 7, 6, 5}, and the range is {2, 3}.** (This option is not explicitly given.)
