Subtract the average from the sales to get the deviation.
Aug. 1700 - 1412.50 = 287.50
Sept. 1125 - 1412.50 = -287.50
Oct. 1850 - 1412.50 = 437.50
Nov. 1500 - 1412.50 = 87.50
Dec. 1050 - 1412.50 = -362.50
It will intercept at (-9,-14)
There are 5 cards less than nine that are prime, so there is a 5/9 chance of picking the first one prime. The second one would be 4/8 or 1/2, because you have removed a card from the deck. You multiply them together to get: 5/18.
Hope this helps!
