Q3. Identify correct statements.

In the given statements, it is not clear what is meant by number? Does it mean integer or double? Unfortunately, the real exam does have such vaguely worded questions on Math.random. Our suggestion is to answer the question assuming that numbers mean integers and doubles both.
So, when they say "number between 1 and 10", it means any integer or a double between 1 and 10.

Further, it is not clear whether both the numbers in the given range are inclusive or exclusive. Since, Math.random() returns a double between 0.0 (inclusive) and 1.0 (exclusive), our suggestion is to use the same convention. i.e. when they say "number between 1 and 10", it means >=1 and <10.
