Replacing missing values with imputed mean does not affect the mean (Allison, P. D., 2001) and
standard deviation, but it reduces the standard error of mean considerable. Hence with the help of
imputed mean we just the increase the sample size (Howell,D. C., 2007)with no effect on mean
and standard deviation and reduce the standard error of mean.

Histogram can be used to present the related values and when we wish to visualize the central
location, spread and shape of the data (Gravetter & Wallnau, 2009). Histograms are efficient for
the present of data in visual format. Histograms are helpful in areas other than probability.
Anytime that we wish to compare the frequency of occurrence of quantitative data a histogram
can be used (E. Hadjidemetriou. M.D. Grossberg and S.K. Nayar, 2003).
