Final answer:

The statement "4∈{8, 12, 16, 20, 24}" is false because the number 4 is not included in the set. The corrected statement would add the number 4 into the set.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement "4∈{8, 12, 16, 20, 24}" is false. The symbol '∈' denotes that an element belongs to a set. In this case, the number 4 is not included in the set {8, 12, 16, 20, 24}, therefore 4 does not belong to the set.

To correct the statement, we would have to include the number 4 in the set, making a new set that includes 4, such as {4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24}, in which 4∈{4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24} would be a true statement.
