$A$ teacher wanted to analyze 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
$0-20$ $7$
$20-30$ $10$
$30-40$ $10$
$40-50$ $20$
$50-60$ $20$
$60-70$ $15$
$70$ and 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.

  • A
    $\frac{7}{39}, 53/90$
  • B
    $\frac{27}{90}, 69/90$
  • C
    $\frac{7}{19}, 23/90$
  • D
    $\frac{7}{90}, 23/90$
