(B) The given statement is not correct. In a histogram,the area of each rectangle is proportional to the frequency of its class. If the class intervals are of equal width,the height of the rectangle is proportional to the frequency. If the class intervals are of unequal width,the area of the rectangle is proportional to the frequency.
