Answer: Probability that the next page she turns will contain an advertisement is 40%.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pages that contained an adventure = 384

Total number of pages = 960

So, Probability that the next page she turns will contain an advertisement is given by

$\frac{\text{Number of pages containing an adventure}}{\text{ Total number of pages}}\\\\=(384)/(960)\\\\=0.4\\\\=0.4* 100\%\\\\=40\%$

Hence, Probability that the next page she turns will contain an advertisement is 40%.
