Answer:

62.5%

Explanation:

In this case we have the information we need to calculate the percentage because they give us the necessary experimental probability, we only have to pass the probability to its percentage form.

We know that probability can be converted to a percentage by multiplying the value of probability by 100, like so:

5/8 * 100 = 62.5

In other words, the probability that it will arrive at that time is 62.5%
