Easy question (and you already know the answer). This is simple rounding. The precision of the values in his ranges is set to the nearest one-hundredth. Which means that your question about what happens to the values from 0.031 to 0.040 is that they're rounded to the nearest hundredth and categorized accordingly. Values in the range 0.031 -- 0.034 are declared to be 0.03. Values in the range 0.035 -- 0.040 are declared to be 0.040. Obviously you could repeat this same question with the range "what happened to 0.0340 to 0.0350" ad nauseam. I'd rather have a Pepto instead.
