Irfan, 

as u said,yes the data in SEX,FLAG,PREF columns are skewed.

do i need to create histograms for the COLUMNS or INDEXES ?

The COST of using IDX_PROFILE_SHINKI (composite index - not analyzed ) is 7 &
The COST of using individual indexes (on SEX,FLAG,PREF - analyzed ) is 999 now.

will using histograms reduce the COST inspite of using individual indexes ?

Regards,
Jp.
