A psychologist designs an 8-item pain survey asking athletes to identify their level of pain after a football injury. She is considering a 5-point scale. How many different ways could a person answer the survey?
There are 58 possible ways to answer the survey with a 5-point scale.
There are 5 to the 8th power possible ways to answer the survey with a 5 textsf negativepoint scale.
There are 5^8 possible ways to answer the survey with a 5-point scale.
There are 8^5 possible ways to answer the survey with a 5-point scale.
There are 5! possible ways to answer the survey with a 5-point scale.
There are 8! possible ways to answer the survey with a 5-point scale.
5^8
trust me just did the test.
Thank you Pixie, it was correct <3
To determine the total number of different ways someone can answer the survey, we need to consider the number of options available for each of the 8 items on the survey. In this case, there are 5 possible responses on a 5-point scale.
To calculate the total number of ways, we need to multiply the number of options for each item together. Since there are 8 items, we multiply 5 by itself 8 times.
Therefore, the total number of different ways someone can answer the survey is 5 to the power of 8, which is equal to 5^8.
So, the correct answer is: There are 5^8 possible ways to answer the survey with a 5-point scale.
