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 7 in a single spin?
(1 point)
The numbers less than 2 are just 1, and the numbers greater than 7 are 8, 9, and 10.
So, there are a total of 4 numbers that satisfy the condition: 1, 8, 9, and 10.
There are a total of 10 numbers on the spinner.
Therefore, the probability of obtaining a number less than 2 or greater than 7 in a single spin is 4/10 or 0.4, which can also be expressed as 40%.
