A new car is sold with or without
antilock brakes, with or without a cd player, with or without electric seats,
and with or without a sunroof. How many
different choices are there?
I will be happy to critique your thinking.
2*2*2*2 = 16 choices?
yep, sixteen.
To find the total number of different choices, we need to multiply the number of options for each feature.
1. Antilock brakes: The car can be sold with or without antilock brakes, so there are 2 choices for this feature.
2. CD player: The car can be sold with or without a CD player, so there are 2 choices for this feature.
3. Electric seats: The car can be sold with or without electric seats, so there are 2 choices for this feature.
4. Sunroof: The car can be sold with or without a sunroof, so there are 2 choices for this feature.
To find the total number of choices, we multiply the number of choices for each feature:
Total choices = 2 (antilock brakes) * 2 (CD player) * 2 (electric seats) * 2 (sunroof)
= 2 * 2 * 2 * 2
= 16
Therefore, there are 16 different choices.
