Answer:

The probability that the spinner will land on a number that is not between 3 and 8, inclusive is 59/65.

Explanation:

Numbers between 3 and 8 inclusive are ; 3,4,5,6,7 & 8. Those are 6 in total.

This means that 59 numbers are not within that range and therefore the probability that the spinner will land on a number outside that range becomes 59/65
