Answer:

41 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Stephen read 1 2 books, 20 magazines, and 17 newspaper articles last year. Based on this data, what is a reasonable estimate of the probability that Stephen's next reading material is a magazine?

Now the total number of reading material will be 12 + 20 + 17 = 49

We need to find the probability of stephen reading a magazine.

So probability of magazine = number of magazines / total reading material

                                             = 20 / 49

                                             = 0.4081

                                            = 0.41

                                    = 0.41 x 100

So the probability that Stephen's next reading material is a magazine                                    will be 41%
