Question

A spinner is numbered from 1 through 10 with each number equally likely to occur. What is the probability of obtaining a number less than 2 or greater than 6 in a single spin?

2

1/2

2/5

3/5

Answer 1

1/2

Explanation:

Each number is equally likely to occur. Thus, you have to find what numbers would fit the necessary criteria.

There is only 1 number less than 2 (1), and 4 numbers that are greater than 6 (7,8,9,10)

You can get 5 numbers out of 10.

5/10 = 1/2

Answer 2

I think the answer is 1/2
