Question
Evaluate the following:
$\sin\Big(\sec^{-1}\frac{17}{8}\Big)$

Answer

$\sin\Big(\sec^{-1}\frac{17}{8}\Big)$
$=\sin\Big(\cos^{-1}\frac{8}{17}\Big)$
$=\sin\Bigg[\sin^{-1}\sqrt{1-\Big(\frac{8}{17}\Big)^2}\Bigg]$ $\Big[{\therefore\ \cos^{-1}}\text{x}=\sin^{-1}\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}\Big]$
$=\sin\Bigg[\sin^{-1}\Bigg(\sqrt{1-\frac{64}{289}}\Bigg)\Bigg]$
$=\sin\Bigg[\sin^{-1}\Bigg(\sqrt{\frac{225}{289}}\Bigg)\Bigg]$
$=\sin\Big[\sin^{-1}\frac{15}{17}\Big]$
$=\frac{15}{17}$

Of the students in a school, it is known that $30 \%$ have $100 \%$ attendanceand $70 \%$ students are irregular. Previous year results report that $70 \%$ of all students who have $100\%$ attendance attain A grade and $10\%$ irregular students attain A grade in their annual examination. At the end of the year, one student is chosen at random from the school and he was found to have an A grade. What is the probability that the student has $100 \%$ attendance? Is regularity required only in school? Justify your answer.
