Detailed Solution & Explanation
A histogram is a graphical presentation of a continuous frequency distribution consisting of adjacent rectangles erected over class intervals.
- The tallest rectangle in a histogram represents the modal class (the class with the highest frequency density).
- Within this modal rectangle, we can graphically estimate 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 Arithmetic Mean (AM) cannot be found graphically.
- The Median is found using Ogives, not histograms. Therefore, a histogram is useful to determine graphically the value of the Mode.
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
