• It selects a random element from a list of integers between 1 and 10.

• It generates a random float between 1 and 10.

How can you generate a random number between 1 and 10?

• Use random.choice(range(1, 11)) to select a number.

• Generate a number by rolling a 10-sided die.

• Use a random number generator function like random.randint(1, 10) to get a number between 1 and 10.
