Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

The rationale for df = (r - 1 )(c - 1 ) is that this quantity represents the number of cell frequencies that are free to vary. Given that we know the sample size (the total number of observations in the table), we need to know the contents of (r - 1 ) rows and (c - 1 ) columns in order to completely fill in the cells within the r  c table.
