In how many ways can an odd number of toys be selected from (9) different toys?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 256

There are \(2^9=512\) subsets of 9 distinct toys. Pair every selection not containing one fixed toy with the selection obtained by adding that toy. Each pair has one even-sized selection and one odd-sized selection. Hence, the number of odd-sized selections is half of 512: \(2^9/2=2^8=256\). Thus, 255 is incorrect because the numbers of even-sized and odd-sized selections are equal. Exam tip: For \(n\geq1\) distinct objects, the number of odd-sized subsets is \(2^{n-1}\).
