Analyze the code snippet

The provided Python code imports the random module and calls the function random.randint(7, 10).

Understand the randint function

In Python, the function random.randint(a, b) returns a random integer \(N\) such that \(a \le N \le b\). This means both the lower bound \(a\) and the upper bound \(b\) are inclusive.

Determine the possible outputs

For the call random.randint(7, 10), the lower bound is \(7\) and the upper bound is \(10\). Since both endpoints are included, the possible integers generated are \(7, 8, 9, 10\).

Match with the options

We compare our set of possible numbers \(\{7, 8, 9, 10\}\) with the given choices:

• Option 1: 7, 8, 9
• Option 2: 8, 9
• Option 3: 7, 8, 9, 10
• Option 4: 8, 9, 10

The correct choice is the third option.
