Simple.
probability is = n°of positive cases/n° of all cases

a. what is the probability that a flight was early or on time?
 100/1000= 0,1 = 10 %

b.  what is the probability that a flight was concelled?
  25/1000=0,025 = 2,5%

c.  What is the probability that a flight is not on time?
  75/1000= 0,075 = 7,5%

On time is 800/1000 = 0,8 = 80%
