Question

7. In how many ways can the same 5-question True / False quiz be

answered if it is okay to leave questions unanswered? (Hint: You now
have 3 choices for each question.)
Answer:

Answer 1

Answer: It can be answered 243 ways

Answer 2

243 ways

Explanation:

Calculating the number of posible outcomes:

We have n trials.

Each trial has m possible outcomes.

The total number of outcomes is:

`T = m^(n)`

In this question:

5 questions, that is, 5 trials, so
`n = 5`

Each question has 3 options(True, false or unanswered). So
`m = 3`

How many ways?

`T = 3^(5) = 243`
