Histograms and Histographs are Same.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Histograms and histographs are not the same. A histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of a dataset, where the data is divided into intervals and the height of each bar represents the frequency or relative frequency of data falling within that interval. On the other hand, a histograph is a bar graph that represents the frequency distribution of a dataset, where the height of each bar represents the frequency of data falling within a specific interval. Therefore, histograms and histographs have similar concepts but differ in terms of the specific way they represent the data.Rate this question:

Probability of a Likely Event is Less than 50%
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement "Probability of a Likely Event is Less than 50%" is false. This is because the probability of a likely event is usually greater than 50%. In probability theory, the probability of an event is a measure of the likelihood that the event will occur. If an event is likely to occur, it means that there is a higher chance of it happening, and therefore the probability would be greater than 50%.Rate this question:
