Final answer:

To find the number of possible outcomes when a button is pressed four times, we consider the conditions of the question and calculate the total number of possible outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of possible outcomes, we need to consider the conditions stated in the question:

- The button is pressed four times.

- The output is a random even number greater than 0 and less than 8.

First, let's determine the number of possible outcomes for each press. Since the output must be an even number, there are 4 possible choices (2, 4, 6, or 0) for each press. Therefore, the total number of possible outcomes is 4 choices per press, for a total of 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 = 256 possible outcomes.
