The given expression is a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) which consists of hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F) and hyphens. It has no real-world meaning or units. Therefore, we cannot compare or make sense of the numerical value of one UUID with another. So, we cannot find the exact value of x.

However, we can generate a large number of UUIDs and find the value of x for which approximately 5% of the UUIDs are greater than or equal to x. This is the definition of the 95th percentile.

Using this method, we can get an approximate value of x as 12.592. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

If P( ≥ X)= 0
