Question

How many ways can a 7 question multiple choice test be answered? (assume that there are 5 possible responses per question?

Answer 1

I am assuming that you can only pick one answer per question.

Let's imagine there are two questions on the test. I would:

1) Consider the first question. How many possible ways could you answer it?

2) Consider the second question. How many ways can you answer that?

If you wrote out all the possibilities, how many combinations of answers would you get across the two questions?
