Question #1
Assertion (A): For a frequency distribution with unequal class intervals, the histogram is drawn with the area of the rectangle proportional to the class frequency. Reason (R): When class widths are unequal, the frequency density must be used to construct the histogram. Choose the correct option:
A. A is false, R is true
B. A is true, R is false
C. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
D. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In a histogram, area (not height) represents frequency; if intervals are unequal, height = frequency / width (frequency density). So R explains A.

Question #2
If P(A) = 0.6, P(B) = 0.7, and P(A ∪ B) = 0.9, then P(A ∩ B) is:
A. 0.5
B. 0.3
C. 0.4
D. 0.2

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
By addition theorem: P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B) → 0.9 = 0.6 + 0.7 - P(A∩B) → P(A∩B) = 1.3 - 0.9 = 0.4.
