Answer: 2560000

Explanation:

Given, A worker needs to create a 4-character password.

Worker can use :

Alphabets, numbers and 4 special characters

Total alphabets = 26

Total digits = 10

So, total characters he can use = 26(alphabets) + 10 (digits) +4 (special characters)

= 26+10+4 = 40

Since, there is no pattern or condition is provided to choose them.

So, the total possible outcomes to create a 4-character password. =
(\text{Total characters})^4=40^4=2560000

Hence, the total possible outcomes = 2560000
