Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\sf Books\begin{cases}\sf Mathematics\leadsto 4 \\ \sf English \leadsto 3 \\ \sf Science \leadsto 6\end{cases}[/tex]

[tex]\tt {:}\longrightarrow Total\:books=3+4+6=13[/tex]

Thus

[tex]\tt {:}\longrightarrow |S|=13[/tex]

[tex]\tt {:}\longrightarrow E=\:\{3\:English\:books\}[/tex]

[tex]\tt {:}\longrightarrow |E|=3[/tex]

[tex]\sf P(E)\begin{cases}\tt {:}\longrightarrow \dfrac{|E|}{|S|} \\ \tt {:}\longrightarrow \dfrac{3}{13}\end{cases}[/tex]
