ok dude listen this might calm you whenever N(number of trials) is very large like above 20 or so always do np and nq to check whether it converges to normal. mostly 5 marks qs like this are to be converted to normal. but always do check. if np >5 or nq >5 then uve got a normal

I believe that in june 2011 they took the range from 1 to 10 not from 0 -9
in the summer 2003 one the class boundaries are defined and are continuous like from 0-5 then 5-10 but in june 2011 they arent defined and arent continuous either. so in the 2011 one you have to subtract .5 from the upper class boundaries and add .5 to the lower class boundary
