Subgroups

I am not good at this kind of sums

What if the question is:

From a group of 8 people, subgroups of 4 people are formed. Andy is in the eight-people group. If a sub-group is picked at random, what is the probability of picking a sub-group that includes Andy? OR how many combinations will be formed including Andy?

The OA is E.
Good job, vikramjit_01!

1/2 for me. Andy would be either in group 1 or group 2.

I'm assuming this means if a subgroup of 4 from a total of 8 people is formed, how many ways can we form a subgroup that includes Andy.

Here are the 4 spots to be filled in the subgroup.
_ _ _ _

Lets give the first one to Andy because we want him to be in the subgroup, then we now have
A _ _ _

The remaining 3 spots can be filled in
7*6*5 ways
so 210 subgroups if I understood your question correctly.

Try this developmental plan:

Day 1:
Take about 25 questions that are half probability and the other half Perms & Combs of no less than Medium difficulty.
Do them all. Doesn't matter what number you get right or wrong. Once done understand the way the problems are meant to be solved.

Day 2:
Do them all again the next day. Also, goto gmatclub.com > Courses > Quantitive and understand the tutorials there.

Day 3:
Now you will be all set to surprise yourself, except for one more thing -
Do about 4-5 questions from the file at this link everyday. Its important to keep in touch.

Take out about an hours or 2 hours time every week (weekend's work for me) to revise the stuff you did on Days 1 & 2.

If you've been crazy enough to do the above, my guess is you'll pray for Perms & Combs, and Probability to come in your GMAT.

From a group of 8 people, subgroups of 4 people are formed. Andy and Kelly are in the eight-people group. If a sub-group is picked at random, what is the probability of picking a sub-group that includes Andy but not Kelly?

A)1/7
B)1/4
C)1/3
D)1/2
E)2/7

possible no. of groups =8C4=70
possible groups with andy without kelly =6C3=20

so probability of such a group =2/7
