Final answer:

The cardinality of each set is determined by the number of elements it contains.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cardinality of each of these sets is:

  1. a) The cardinality of the empty set Ø is 0.
  2. b) The cardinality of the set {0} is 1.
  3. c) The cardinality of the set {0} is 1.
  4. d) The cardinality of the set {{0, {0}}} is 1, as it contains only one element.
  5. e) The cardinality of the set {1, 2, 3} is 3, as it contains three elements.
  6. f) The cardinality of the set {{1}, {2, {3}}} is 2, as it contains two elements.
  7. g) The cardinality of the set {{1}, {2}, {3}} is 3, as it contains three elements.
  8. h) The cardinality of the set {{1,2,3}} is 1, as it contains only one element.
