For continuous data grouped into equal intervals, the mode is found where the histogram
Ais at its lowest
Breaches its peak
Ccrosses the zero line
Dis at its edge
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. reaches its peak
1. Continuous values rarely repeat exactly.
2. So the values are grouped into intervals of equal width.
3. The interval with the highest bar, the peak, gives the mode.
The lowest bar shows the least frequent interval, and zero or the end are not special.
