Answer:
[tex]\large\boxed{\large\boxed{(n_k)^k}}[/tex]
Explanation:
The formula for the counting rule of an experiment with k-steps with [tex]n_k[/tex]outcomes each. This is a process of randomly selecting k numbers (or objects) with replacement (or repetition). Look for the formula in your notes, PowerPoint slides or textbook.
Thus, a per the Fundamental Counting Principle or counting rule, the number of possible outcomes is:
[tex]n_k\cdot n_k\cdot n_k\cdot ...\cdot n_k[/tex]
That is [tex]n_k[/tex] multiplied by itself k time, which is [tex]n_k[/tex] raised to power [tex]k[/tex].
[tex](n_k)^k[/tex]
