The answer is A, because 43 of the flights were from UA and were on time, this is out of a whole of 87 flights.

Answer:  a. [tex]\dfrac{43}{87}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given table , it can be seen that the total number of flights are given : 43+33+6+5=87

Also, the the number of  Upstate Airlines flights on time = 43

Now if one of the 87 flights is randomly selected, the probability that the flight selected is an Upstate Airlines flight which was on time will be :-

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Number of Upstate Airlines flight on time}}{\text{Total flight}}\\\\=\dfrac{43}{87}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that the flight selected is an Upstate Airlines flight which was on time [tex]=\dfrac{43}{87}[/tex]
