Answer:

Probability = 0.500

Explanation:

If it is given that the reader is a teen, we have a total of 80 readers, where 40 of those readers have Rowling as their favorite.

So the probability that the reader's favorite is Rowling given that the reader is a teen is the number of teen readers that have Rowling as favorite (40) over the total number of teen readers (80)

Probability = 40 / 80 = 0.500
