Consider the following statements in respect of a histogram: 1. The total area of the rectangles in a histogram is equal to the total area bounded by the corresponding frequency polygon and the x-axis. 2. When class intervals are unequal in a frequency distribution, the area of the rectangle is proportional to the frequency. Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Consider the following statements in respect of a histogram: 1. The total area of the rectangles in a histogram is equal to the total area bounded by the corresponding frequency polygon and the x-axis. 2. When class intervals are unequal in a frequency distribution, the area of the rectangle is proportional to the frequency. Which of the above statements is/are correct? Correct Answer Both 1 and 2

Explanation:

Statement (1) is correct because total area of the rectangles in a histogram is equal to the total area bounded by the corresponding frequency polygon and x-axis.

Statement (2) is also correct because class intervals are unequal in a frequency distribution change into continuous class intervals.
