First off, we'd convert the mixed fraction to "improper" and then proceed,

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{5}{8}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 8+5}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{21}{8}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{7}{12}\div \cfrac{21}{8}\implies \cfrac{7}{12}\cdot \cfrac{8}{21}\implies \cfrac{\underline{7}}{3\cdot \underline{4}}\cdot \cfrac{2\cdot \underline{4}}{3\cdot \underline{7}}\implies \cfrac{2}{9}$

Answer:

96.33% probability that everyone who appears for the flight will get a seat

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
