प्रश्न
A teacher wanted to analyse the performance of two sections of students in a mathematics test of 100 marks. Looking at their performances, she found that a few students got under 20 marks and a few got 70 marks or above. So she decided to group them into intervals of varying sizes as follows: 0 − 20, 20 − 30… 60 − 70, 70 − 100. Then she formed the following table:-
| Marks | Number of students |
| 0 - 20 | 7 |
| 20 - 30 | 10 |
| 30 - 40 | 10 |
| 40 - 50 | 20 |
| 50 - 60 | 20 |
| 60 - 70 | 15 |
| 70 - above | 8 |
| Total 90 | |
(i) Find the probability that a student obtained less than 20 % in the mathematics test.
(ii) Find the probability that a student obtained marks 60 or above.

उत्तर
Totalnumber of students = 90
(i) Number of students getting less than 20 % marks in the test = 7
Hence, required probability, P = 7/90
(ii) Number of students obtaining marks 60 or above = 15 + 8 = 23
Hence, required probability, P = 23/90
