Answer:

D. 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability is calculate as a division between the number of ways in which Andrew will be selected and karen will not and the total ways in which they can select 4 people from a group of 8 volunteers.

The number of ways in which they can select 4 people from a group of 8 volunteers can be calculated using:

nCk=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

Where nCk give as the number of ways in which we can form groups of k elements from a group of n elements.

So, if we replace n by 8 and k by 4, we get:

8C4=\frac{8!}{4!(8-4)!}=70

Then, there are 70 ways to select 4 people from a group of 8 volunteers.

At the same way, the number of ways in which Andrew will be selected and karen will not can be calculate replacing n by 6 and k by 3 in the same equation as:

6C3=\frac{6!}{3!(6-3)!}=20

We replace n by 6 because from the 8 volunteers, Andrew is going to be selected and Karen will not, so, the people that affect the result are just the 6 remaining volunteers. Also, k is equal to 3 because Andrew is already selected and we just need to select 3 more people.

Finally, the probability is:

P=\frac{20}{70} = \frac{2}{7}

Cot^2x/cscx-1=1+sinx/sinx
KATRIN_1 [288]
\bf \textit{difference of squares}
\\\\
(a-b)(a+b) = a^2-b^2\qquad \qquad 
a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
\\\\\\
sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1\implies cos^2(\theta)=1-sin^2(\theta)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{cot^2(x)}{csc(x)-1}=\cfrac{1+sin(x)}{sin(x)}\impliedby \textit{let's do the left-hand-side}

\bf \cfrac{\quad \frac{cos^2(x)}{sin^2(x)}\quad }{\frac{1}{sin(x)}-1}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{cos^2(x)}{sin^2(x)}\quad }{\frac{1-sin(x)}{sin(x)}}\implies \cfrac{cos^2(x)}{sin^2(x)}\cdot \cfrac{sin(x)}{1-sin(x)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{cos^2(x)}{sin(x)}\cdot \cfrac{1}{1-sin(x)}\implies \cfrac{cos^2(x)}{sin(x)[1-sin(x)]}

\bf \cfrac{1-sin^2(x)}{sin(x)[1-sin(x)]}\implies \cfrac{1^2-sin^2(x)}{sin(x)[1-sin(x)]}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\underline{[1-sin(x)]}~[1+sin(x)]}{sin(x)\underline{[1-sin(x)]}}\implies \cfrac{1+sin(x)}{sin(x)}
