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);

= \frac{5}{12}*\frac{4}{11}*\frac{3}{10}\\\\   = \frac{1}{22}\\\\ = 0.0455

Therefore, the probability that Ivan will have 3 novels to read during the road trip is 0.0455

Use the list below to find the upper quartile. 27, 5, 11, 13, 10, 8, 14, 18, 7
Alinara [238K]

Find the  median first. The middle of all the numbers.

5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 18, 27

11 is the median.

Then find the median of the upper quartile.

The upper quartile consists of numbers...

5, 7, 8, 10

Since it is an even set of numbers add the two in the middle and divided by two. So 7 plus 8=  15/2.

7.5 is your upper quartile.
