PLEASE HELP!!

At certain times of the year, about 70% of airline flight delays are caused by bad weather. During those times, about 50% of all flights experience bad weather, and about 25% of all flights are delayed.

Given these percentages, if the weather is good, what is the probability that your flight will be delayed?

About 35%
About 20%
About 15%

Answer:

About 15%

Explanation:

Since the weather is good, this means that 500 flights are affected because 50% of the flights experience good weather and 50% of the flights experience bad weather.

there will be 75 flights that are delayed due to causes other than bad weather

if you assume that all of the flights that are not caused by bad weather occur in good weather, then the probability would have to be 75 / 500 = .15 = 15%.
