Question

Consider the following statements in respect of histogram.
$1$. The histogram is a suitable representation of a frequency distribution of a continuous variable.
$2$. The area included under the whole histogram is the total frequency.
Which of the statements is$/$ are correct?

• A. $1$ only
• B. $2$ only
• C. Both $1$ and $2$
• D. Neither $1$ nor $2$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Both $1$ and $2$

Consider the above image which shows that,

1. A histogram is an accurate representation of the distribution of numerical data. It is an estimate of the probability distribution of a continuous variable

2.The area of the histogram represents the total frequency

Hence, in the statements both 1 and 2 are correct.
