adding one more question,

3) How does CBO calculate the density in cases of bind variables when the value is out of range?

or is this a RTFM / RTFB ... ??

density is a "property" of the column and is roughly related to the probability of finding a particular value in the rows of the table. It is calculated when statistics are collected, not at parse time. density is in no way dependent on bind variables - or literals for that matter. You may be mistaking density with selectivity.
