How many ways are there to answer a 10-question true/false test, where at least \(8\) of the questions have been answered with a false?
There are 2 options for 1 question
There are another 2 options for the other question
The remaining 8 must all be false.
There are \(10 \choose 8 \) ways to choose which questions are guaranteed to be false
So, in total, there is: \(2 \times 2 \times {10 \choose 8} = \color{brown}\boxed{180}\) ways to answer.

You are very good at this counting stuff......I'm usually stuck on many of these !!!
That is true,
You seem to get these counting and prob questions with ease. These type of questions always mess up my brain!!!

Thank You!!! I grinded AoPS Counting and Probability for a month, and I guess it's paying off now...
