Step-by-step explanation:

(a + b) + c \\  =   \bigg(-  \frac{1}{2}  +  \frac{3}{4} \bigg ) +  \frac{5}{7}  \\ =   \bigg(-  \frac{2}{4}  +  \frac{3}{4} \bigg ) +  \frac{5}{7}  \\  =    \frac{1}{4} +  \frac{5}{7}  \\   =  \frac{7 + 20}{28}  \\    \red{ \bold{\therefore \: (a + b) + c=  \frac{28}{28}}}...(1) \\  \\ a + (b + c) \\  =  -  \frac{1}{2}  +  \bigg( \frac{3}{4}  +  \frac{5}{7}  \bigg) \\ =  -  \frac{1}{2}  +  \bigg( \frac{21 + 20}{28}   \bigg) \\ =  -  \frac{1}{2}  +   \frac{41}{28}   \\  =  \frac{ - 14 + 41}{28}  \\  \red{ \bold{a + (b + c)  =  \frac{ 27}{28}}}....(2)  \\  \\ from \: equations \: (1) \: and \: (2) \: it \: is \\ obvious \: that:  \\  \:  \:  \: \purple{  \boxed{\bold{ (a + b )+ c = a + (b + c)  }}} \\   \:  \:  \: hence \: verified.

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Probability that there will be a seat available for every passenger who shows up is 50/50 or 49/50

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is known that 5percent of people who make reservations would not show up.

Therefore 5% of 52 sold ticket is

5/100 x 52 = 2.6

That is 2 or 3 people who make reservations would not show up.

Which means 52 - 2 or 52 - 3 people would show up

50 or 49 people would show up

Since the flight can hold just 50 people

The probability that everyone that shows up would have a seat is therefore =

50/ 50 or 49/50
