Question

Which best describes the complement of spinning any number less than 3?

Answer 1

Answer:

• The complement of spinning any number less than 3, is spinning a number equal to or greater than 3.

Explanation:

The complement of a subset is the subset of elements that are not in the given subset.

You must know which numbers the spinner has.

Assuming the spinner has the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, the complement of spinning any number less than 3, is spinning a number that is not less than 3.

Then, that is spinning a number that is equal to or greater than 3.

The numbers that are equal to  or greater than four, for a spinner that has the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 are 3 and 4.

Thus, the complement of spinning any number less than 3 is spinning a three or a four.
