Answer:
56 ways
Explanation:
Combinations are indistinguishable, combinations can be represented by the formula:
[tex]C_{n,k}=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}[/tex]
Where n represents the total number of items, and k represents the number of items being chosen at a time.
Therefore to choose 5 of the 8 volunteers for a committee, the number of 5 person committees that can be chosen = [tex]C_{8,5}=\frac{8!}{5!(8-5)!}=56 ways[/tex]
