We have given the 2 by 2 frequency table.

The probability that a randomly selected book is a nonfiction paperback =

(Number of nonfiction paperback books) / Total number of books

= 23 / 69

= 0.3333

The percentage of nonfiction paperback books is 33.33%

[tex]\text{P( nonfiction paperback)}=\frac{23}{69}=0.33333....[/tex]

In percent, [tex]\text{P( nonfiction paperback)}=0.33333.....\times33.333\%\approx=33.3\%[/tex]
