    E. 40

    Step-by-step explanation:

    the average is the relationship between the sum of data and the number of data, in this case you have 100 planes of which 10 left with an hour delay (60min) and the rest (90 planes) half (45 planes) planes they left on time and the other half (45 aircraft) with 20 min delay, so average is equal to the sum of the data between the number of data.

    P = (60+20) / 2 = 40

    In this case, only the airplanes whose events differ with the fact of leaving on time
