Solution

The given data is 5, 4, 7, 5, 8, 8, 8, 5, 7, 9, 5, 7, 9, 10 and 8.

Make the following frequency table.

Since the values 5 and 8 occurs in the data maximum number of times, that is, 4. Hence, the modal value is 5 and 8. In this case the mode is not unique.

Hence, the correct options are (b) and (c).
