The probability that the spinner would land on a number that is not between 16 and 25 as required in the task content is; 13 / 15.

<h3>What is the probability that the spinner would land on a number that is not between 16 and 25?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the probability that the spinner would land on a number that is not between 16 and 25, inclusive be determined.

Since the spinner contains 1 through 75, the number of event in the sample space is; 75 events.

Also, the number of events between 16 and 25, inclusive is; 10.

Therefore, the number of events outside 16 through 25 is; 75 - 10 = 65.

Therefore, the required probability that the spinner would land on a number that is not between 16 and 25 is;

= 65 / 75

= 13 / 15.

Therefore, the required probability is; 13 / 15.
