Stephen read 12 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? Choose the best answer.

41%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Sample = 12 + 20 + 17 = 49

Probability of magazine = number of magazines / total sample

= 20 / 49

= 0.408163

= 0.41

= 0.41 x 100

=41%

The probability that Stephen's next reading material will be a magazine 41%.

y = 2x

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide each number in the sequence, you'll see that they all have a multiple factor of 2. each number in the series, and any other numbers which may continue, will be multiplied by 2. therefore, y is the next number in the sequence, and x is the current one, so, our formula will be y = 2x.
