To find the probability of obtaining a number less than 2 when spinning a spinner numbered from 1 to 10, we first need to identify the possible outcomes. The spinner has 10 numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
When we consider numbers less than 2, the only number that fits this criterion is 1. Thus, there is just one favorable outcome (the number 1).
Next, we calculate the total number of possible outcomes, which is 10 (since there are 10 numbers on the spinner). The probability can be calculated using the formula:
Probability = (Number of Favorable Outcomes) / (Total Number of Possible Outcomes)
Substituting the values we have:
Probability = 1 / 10
This simplifies to 0.1 or 10%. Therefore, the probability of obtaining a number less than 2 when spinning the spinner is 10%.
