Question 334511: determine wheter or not each of the situations describes a function. On a given night, your blood alcohol level is function of the number of beers you drink in a 2hour period. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
As long as "your" as used in the statement "your blood alcohol level is function of the number of beers you drink in a 2 hour period." refers to one particular individual and not any one of a group of individuals, then yes, this is a function. A given individual can only have one blood alcohol level at any given moment, and that blood alcohol level is directly related to the individual's recent consumption of alcoholic beverage. You just can't apply the rule to a group of people because differences in individuals will give you different outputs for a given input -- violating the definition of "function."
