Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question states that there are 26 novels in the collection. If one novel is selected at random, then each novel has an equal chance of being selected. Therefore, the probability of selecting The Mysterious Rider is 1/26, which is approximately 3.8%. This is not considered to be a significant probability, so it would not be considered significant if The Mysterious Rider was selected.
