This is wrong because:

if they take two favorite jokes told about sports: 4 x 2 = 8
jokes x how many they take = answer

if they take one joke about the weather: 4 x 8 = 32
jokes x sport jokes = answer

two about the weather: 4 x 2 x 8 = 64
3: 4 x 2 x 2 x 8 = 128 < permutation
4. 4 x 2 x 2 x 8 x 1 = 128 < combination

sorry if it’s wrong I took it from another answer (attached) and inputted the numbers you have.

if you take one joke from weather you will have 32 jokes, and so on
