Here is a summary of the dataThe question provided asks to find the probability that a randomly selected student from a class of 100 students has scored within specific ranges.
Here is a summary of the
Marks scored | No. of students |
---|---|
0-10 | 4 |
10-20 | 5 |
20-30 | 9 |
30-40 | 7 |
40-50 | 13 |
50-60 | 12 |
60-70 | 15 |
70-80 | 11 |
80-90 | 14 |
90-100 | 10 |
Total number of students = 100.
Let's solve each option:
-
Option (a): Probability that the student scored less than 20.
- Number of students who scored in the range 0-20 (i.e., 0-10 and 10-20) = .
- Probability = .
-
Option (b): Probability that the student scored below 60 but more than or equal to 30.
- Number of students who scored between 30 and 60 (i.e., 30-40, 40-50, and 50-60) = .
- Probability = .
-
Option (c): Probability that the student scored 70 or more.
- Number of students who scored 70 or more (i.e., 70-80, 80-90, 90-100) = .
- Probability = .
-
Option (d): Probability that the student scored above 89.
- Only students who scored in the 90-100 range satisfy this condition = 10 students.
- Probability = .
Answers:
- (a)
- (b)
- (c)
- (d)

- If two students are selected at random, what is the probability that both scored less than 30?
- What is the probability of selecting a student who scored either below 40 or above 80?
- How does the total number of students affect the probabilities in such a distribution?
- Can you calculate the probability of selecting a student who scored between 50 and 100?
Tip: To calculate probability, divide the favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.
