    a. 45%

    Explanation:

    The sum of total probabilities is always equal to 1. Since in the given question only three probabilities are given, so the sum of these three probabilities shall be 1 which is represented as follows by the equation:

    probability of boom+probability of normal+probability of recession=1

    In the given question:

    probability of boom=30%

    probability of recession=25%

    30%+probability of normal+25%=1

    Probability of normal=1-25%-30%=45%

    So based on the above calculations, the answer shall be a. 45%
