A study was conducted to find out the concentration of sulphur dioxide in the air in parts per million (ppm) of a certain city. The data obtained for 30 days is as follows:-
| 0.03 | 0.08 | 0.08 | 0.09 | 0.04 | 0.17 |
| 0.16 | 0.05 | 0.02 | 0.06 | 0.18 | 0.20 |
| 0.11 | 0.08 | 0.12 | 0.13 | 0.22 | 0.07 |
| 0.08 | 0.01 | 0.10 | 0.06 | 0.09 | 0.18 |
| 0.11 | 0.07 | 0.05 | 0.07 | 0.01 | 0.04 |
(i) Make a grouped frequency distribution table for this data with class intervals as 0.00 - 0.04, 0.04 - 0.08, and so on.
(ii) For how many days, was the concentration of sulphur dioxide more than 0.11 parts per million?
Three coins were tossed 30 times simultaneously. Each time the number of heads occurring was noted down as follows:-
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 0 |
