If Jackson turns on his favorite TV station at a randomly selected time, the probability that the current show will be on a commercial break is 0.35. Which of the following is the correct interpretation of this probability? 35% of the money that Jackson’s favorite TV channel makes comes from advertising. For every 100 minutes Jackson watches his favorite TV station, 35 of those minutes will be taken up by commercials. Tomorrow, Jackson's favorite TV station will run commercials for 35% of the air time.
