Answer 1

Answer:

Option (C) n = 256

Therefore, there are 256 ways to select a car with 2 car models, 8 different colors and any combinations of 4 optional features.

Step-by-step explanation:

A new car is available in a sedan model and a hatchback model.

So that means customers can select the model of the car in,

n₁ = 2 ways

It is available in eight  different colors.

After selecting the model, customers can select the color of the car in,

n₂ = 8 ways

Customers can choose to add any combination of four optional features.

After selecting the color, customers have the choice to add any combination of 4 optional features,

n₃ = 4² = 16 ways

Which means that there are 16 different ways to add 4 optional features e.g.

1. 0, 0, 0, 0

2. 0, 0, 0, 1

3. 0, 0, 1, 0

4. 0, 0, 1, 1

and the list goes on to 16 different ways.

Now the total ways to select a car is given by

n = n₁*n₂*n₃

n = 2*8*16

n = 256

Therefore, there are 256 ways to select a car with 2 car models, 8 different colors and any combinations of 4 optional features.
