The answer would be: It is 15% more likely to be delayed.

The table should look like this:

Good weather Bad Weather

Delayed 7.5% 17.5%

On Time 42.5% 32.5%

The question is asking whether the probability when "bad weather" and "on time" more likely than "On time". So, you need to find the difference between them. The calculation would be:32.5% - 17.5% = 15%
