Answer:

131,072 possible answers

Step-by-step explanation:

For the true-false questions, there are only 2 possible outcomes for each question, since the exam has 13 questions, the number of possible answer sheets for this section of the test is:

[tex]T = 2*2*2*2... = 2^{13}[/tex]

For the multiple-choice questions, there are two questions with four possible outcomes. The number of possible answer sheets for this section of the test is:

[tex]M = 4*4= 4^2[/tex]

Therefore, the number of possible answer sheets (A) for the entire test is given by:

[tex]A= T*M\\A= 2^{13}*4^2\\A=131,072[/tex]
