• A. Trimodal data set
• B. Biomodal data set
• C. Single mode data
• D. No mode data set

Answer 1

The correct option is B Biomodal data set

To find the mode of the given data, we first arrange the data into an ordered list of the number of students and its frequency of occurrence.

Number of students	Frequency
78	2
67	2
43	1
38	1
49	1
21	1

From the table given above, we can see that the frequency of both 78 and 67 is 2.
Thus, the given data set has 2 modes: 78 and 67.

Hence, the given data set is an example of a bimodal data set.
