    Boom 15%, Recession 5%

  4. Boom 20%, Recession 10%

    Correct answer

Why this is the answer

Let the probability of Recession be x. The probability of Boom is 2×x. The total probability sums to 100%, with Normal at 70%. Set up the equation: 70 + x + 2x = 100 → 3x = 30 → x = 10%. Recession = 10%, Boom = 2×10% = 20%.
