A function in math is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The set of possible inputs is the domain, and the set of actual outputs is the range.
In this table the input is the day of the week and the output is the number of children in the car. Each day (Sunday, Monday, …, Saturday) is paired with exactly one number. Because no day is assigned two different numbers, the table defines a function. (It is fine that different days share the same number — a function can give the same output for more than one input.)
