Next to the label for each circle is the proportion of the total number of survey respondents who had read the corresponding book. Each number in the diagram shows the proportion of the total number of respondents who had read the book(s) represented by the circle or circles in which it appears. For example, the proportion of the number of respondents who had read Book C was 0.72, and the proportion who had read Books B and C but not Book A was 0.20.

Among the respondents who had read Book ?, the probability that one selected at random had read all three books is greater than 0.60. 0.38 have read all three books, so 0.38 > X * 0.60 or X < \(\frac{0.38}{60}\) or X<63.3 Only Book A has total number of respondents who read it less than 63. Hence ? = Book A
The probability that a randomly selected respondent had read only Books A and C is Straight forward, as the overlap only between A and C is 0.00
