All Questions Correct Answer
✅ Option a — A histogram
All Options:
- AA histogram
- BLess than type ogives
- CMore than type ogives
- DFrequency polygon
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The Mode is the value that occurs most frequently in a dataset. For a grouped frequency distribution, the mode can be estimated graphically using a **Histogram**:
1. The tallest rectangle in the histogram corresponds to the modal class (the class with the highest frequency density).
2. By drawing diagonal lines from the top corners of the modal rectangle to the opposite top corners of the two adjacent rectangles (preceding and succeeding classes), we find their point of intersection.
3. Dropping a perpendicular from this intersection point to the horizontal axis gives the modal value.
Ogives are used to find the Median and other partition values, and frequency polygons show the general shape of the distribution. Therefore, the mode is obtained from a histogram.
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
