  • DNone

Detailed Solution & Explanation

A histogram is a graphical presentation of a continuous frequency distribution. - The tallest rectangle in a histogram represents the modal class (the class with the highest frequency or frequency density). - Within this modal rectangle, we can graphically locate the **Mode** by drawing two diagonal lines: one from the top-right corner of the modal rectangle to the top-right corner of the preceding rectangle, and another from the top-left corner of the modal rectangle to the top-left corner of the succeeding rectangle. - The x-coordinate of the intersection point of these two diagonals gives the estimated modal value. - The Mean cannot be found graphically. - Quartiles (including the first quartile, Q1\displaystyle Q_1, and the median, Q2\displaystyle Q_2) are found graphically using Ogives, not histograms. Therefore, a histogram is used for finding the Mode. Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
