We have

Total number of plane crashes = 379 + 74 + 68 + 283 + 527 = 1331

Then, relative frequency distribution:

pilot error =

$(379)/(1331)\cdot100=28.5$

other human error =

$(74)/(1331)\cdot100=5.5$

weather =

$(68)/(1331)\cdot100=5.1$

mechanical problems =

$(283)/(1331)\cdot100=21.3$

sabotage =

$(527)/(1331)\cdot100=39.6$

Answer:

pilot error 28.5%

human error 5.5%

weather 5.1%

mechanical problems 21.3%

sabotage 39.6%
