The number of subsets in {14,15,5,4,1}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The set consisting of n elements (where n is positive integer) has 2%5En subsets, including the empty subset and the entire set as one of subsets.

See the lesson
    - How many subsets are there in a given finite set of n elements?
in this site.

In your case the set consists of 5 elements, so the number of subsets is 2%5E5 = 32.
