local selectivity estimation - computing frequency of predicates

Dear All.

How to compute the frequency of predicate (e.g. Salary > $70000) in an
SQL query from a DB's pre-defined indexes?". I'm specifically looking at
how to retrieve information about indices (like number of pages at each
level of index, range of attribute values etc.)

Any suggestions regarding the same would be great

Thanks,
