Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

### Problem Summary
We're asked to find the probability that a randomly chosen integer between 1 and 10 (inclusive) will be either:
1. Greater than 5, or
2. An odd number.

Let's denote:
- Event \( A \) as the event that the number is greater than 5.
- Event \( B \) as the event that the number is odd.

### Step 1: Identify Numbers for Each Event
1. **Event \( A \): Numbers greater than 5**
   - The integers greater than 5 within the range 1 to 10 are: \( 6, 7, 8, 9, \) and \( 10 \).
   - So, there are 5 numbers in this set.

2. **Event \( B \): Odd numbers**
   - The odd integers within the range 1 to 10 are: \( 1, 3, 5, 7, \) and \( 9 \).
   - So, there are 5 numbers in this set as well.

### Step 2: Find the Overlap (Intersection) of Events \( A \) and \( B \)
- The numbers that are both greater than 5 and odd are: \( 7 \) and \( 9 \).
- There are 2 numbers in this intersection set.

### Step 3: Calculate the Probability Using the Addition Rule
The probability of either event \( A \) or \( B \) occurring is given by:
\[
P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)
\]
where:
- \( P(A) = \frac{5}{10} \),
- \( P(B) = \frac{5}{10} \),
- \( P(A \cap B) = \frac{2}{10} \).

So,
\[
P(A \cup B) = \frac{5}{10} + \frac{5}{10} - \frac{2}{10} = \frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5}.
\]

### Answer
The correct probability that the number chosen will be more than 5 or odd is:
\[
\frac{4}{5}
\]

### Tip
When calculating probabilities involving "or" statements, remember to account for any overlap to avoid double-counting.

Suppose you ask a friend to randomly choose an integer between 1 and 10, inclusive. What is the probability that the number will be more than 5 or odd?

Calculate the probability of selecting an integer from 1 to 10 that is either greater than 5 or odd using the addition rule. Understand overlapping events with step-by-step explanations and find the solution: 4/5.
