Answer:

Probability Can't be calculated because information isn't enough

Explanation:

Number of items first 10 patrons checked was recorded.

P(item of first 10 patrons) = ??

The type of item they checked wasn't specified

The probability that the next person would check a fictional book can't be ascertained because information is not conclusive.
