Two coins are tossed simultaneously $500$ times,and we get:
Two heads : $105$ times
One head : $275$ times
No head : $120$ times
Find the probability of occurrence of each of these events.

(N/A) Let us denote the events of getting two heads,one head,and no head by $E_1, E_2,$ and $E_3$ respectively.
The total number of trials is $500$.
For $E_1$ (two heads): $P(E_1) = \frac{105}{500} = 0.21$
For $E_2$ (one head): $P(E_2) = \frac{275}{500} = 0.55$
For $E_3$ (no head): $P(E_3) = \frac{120}{500} = 0.24$
Observe that $P(E_1) + P(E_2) + P(E_3) = 0.21 + 0.55 + 0.24 = 1.0$. These events cover all possible outcomes of the trial.

$A$ 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.

The distance (in $km$) of $40$ engineers from their residence to their place of work were found as follows.
$5$ $3$ $10$ $20$ $25$ $11$ $13$ $7$ $12$ $31$
$19$ $10$ $12$ $17$ $18$ $11$ $32$ $17$ $16$ $2$

$12$ $14$ $2$ $9$ $6$ $15$ $15$ $7$ $6$ $12$

What is the empirical probability that an engineer lives:
$(i)$ less than $7 \, km$ from her place of work?
$(ii)$ more than or equal to $7 \, km$ from her place of work?
$(iii)$ within $\frac{1}{2} \, km$ from her place of work?

$A$ die is thrown $1000$ times with the frequencies for the outcomes $1, 2, 3, 4, 5$ and $6$ as given in the following table:
