What is a well-defined set?
Understand the Problem

A set is well-defined if there is no ambiguity as to whether or not an object belongs to it, meaning it is clear to determine if any given object is or isn’t an element of the set.
More Information
An example of a well-defined set is C = {red, blue, yellow, green, purple}, where it is clear what elements are included.
