Answer:
The probability that Ivan will have 3 novels to read during the road trip is 0.0455
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
number of novels = 5
number of short stories = 7
total number of books = 12
The probability that Ivan's friend pick's a novel = 5 / 12
The probability of Ivan's first pick to be a novel = 4 / 11
The probability of Ivan's second pick to be a novel = 3 /10
The probability that Ivan will have 3 novels to read during the road trip is given by;
= p(Ivan's friend pick) and P(Ivan's first pick) and P(Ivan's second pick);

Therefore, the probability that Ivan will have 3 novels to read during the road trip is 0.0455
(x – 1)(x + 1)(x + 5) = 0
x – 1 = 0, so x = 1
x + 1 = 0, so x = -1
x + 5 = 0, so x = -5
