Given below is the frequency distribution table regarding the concentration of sulphur dioxide in the air in parts per million of a certain city for 30 days.
| Conc. of SO2 | 0.00-0.04 | 0.04-0.08 | 0.08-0.12 | 0.12-0.16 | 0.16-0.20 | 0.20-0.24 |
| No. days: | 4 | 8 | 9 | 2 | 4 | 3 |
Find the probability of concentration of sulphur dioxide in the interval 0.12-0.16 on any of these days.
उत्तर
The total number of trials is 30.
Remember the empirical or experimental or observed frequency approach to probability.
If n be the total number of trials of an experiment and A is an event associated to it such that A happens in m-trials. Then the empirical probability of happening of event A is denoted by P (A) and is given by
`P (A) = m/n`
Let A1 be the event that the concentration of sulphur dioxide in a day is 0.12-0.16 parts per million.
The number of times A1 happens is 2.
Therefore, we have
` P(A_1) = 2/30`
`=1/15`

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 | |
