Question #2
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. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
B. A is true, R is false
C. A is false, R is true
D. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Correct Answer: Option D
