Let William be x years old.
Thomas = (4 + x) years
In five years,
William = (x + 5) years
Thomas = 4 + x + 5 = (9 + x) years
Given, in five years sum of their ages is 24.
x + 5 + 9 + x = 24
2x + 14 = 24
2x = 24 - 14
2x = 10
x =
x = 5
Hence, William is 5 years old and Thomas is 9 years old.

Answer:
(a) The probability of overbooking is 0.2135.
(b) The probability that the flight has empty seats is 0.4625.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the number of passengers showing up for the flight.
It is provided that a small regional carrier accepted 19 reservations for a particular flight with 17 seats.
Of the 17 seats, 14 reservations went to regular customers who will arrive for the flight.
Number of reservations = 19
Regular customers = 14
Seats available = 17 - 14 = 3
Remaining reservations, n = 19 - 14 = 5
P (A remaining passenger will arrive), <em>p</em> = 0.52
The random variable <em>X</em> thus follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 5 and <em>p</em> = 0.52.
(1)
Compute the probability of overbooking as follows:
P (Overbooking occurs) = P(More than 3 shows up for the flight)
Thus, the probability of overbooking is 0.2135.
(2)
Compute the probability that the flight has empty seats as follows:
P (The flight has empty seats) = P (Less than 3 shows up for the flight)
Thus, the probability that the flight has empty seats is 0.4625.
