Which of the following cannot be determined graphically?
Mean
Median
Mode
none of these
Answer
The mean is an algebraic measure that cannot be determined graphically.
To calculate mean, we must sum all observations and divide by the total number. Since it depends on the exact value of every single observation rather than their position or frequency alone there is no standard geometric construction or curve that can pinpoint the mean on a graph.
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
