    3/5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If Jennifer has 25 books on her bookshelf and she has 10 fiction books, the number of non-fiction books she has will be 25-10 = 15 non - fiction books.

    Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

    Probability = Expected outcome of event/total outcome.

    Since we want the expression that represents the probability that the book she selects will be a non-fiction book, our expected outcome will be 15 (the total non fiction she selected)

    The total outcome will be the total number of books i. e 25.

    Probability that she elects non fiction book = 15/25

    = 3/5
