Find the indicated probability. Express your answer as a simplified fraction unless otherwise noted.
-The following table contains data from a study of two airlines which fly to Small Town, USA. $$\begin{array} { c | c c }
& \text { Number of flights} & \text { Number of flights } \
& \text { which were on time } & \text { which were late } \
\hline \text { Podunk Airlines } & 33 & 6 \
\text { Upstate Airlines } & 43 & 5
\end{array}$$

A) $\frac { 5 } { 87 }$

B) $\frac { 5 } { 48 }$

C) $\frac { 5 } { 11 }$

D) None of the above is correct.
