    0.853

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Use conditional probability. The probability of event A, given that event B has occurred, is:

    P (A|B) = P (A and B) / P (B)

    The probability that it is not raining, given that the flight leaves on time, is:

    P (not raining | on time) = P (not raining AND on time) / P (on time)

    P (not raining | on time) = 0.81 / (1 - 0.05)

    P (not raining | on time) = 0.853
