Weights (in $kg$) Number of students $31-35$ $9$ $36-40$ $5$ $41-45$ $14$ $46-50$ $3$ $51-55$ $1$ $56-60$ $2$ $61-65$ $2$ $66-70$ $1$ $71-75$ $1$ Total $38$
$(i)$ Find the probability that the weight of a student in the class lies in the interval $46-50 \, kg$.
$(ii)$ Give two events in this context,one having probability $0$ and the other having probability $1$.

$A$ 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.
| 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 | $90$ |
