Q 29 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:
