The answer is B. single mode and bi-modal.
Answered by PsyDAG
Depending on the values in the set, any could apply. however, if they occur on a chance basis, one mode is typical.

Anonymous' example of a is correct. However, to be bimodal, the most frequent scores must be separated.

b. 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7

c. 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7

What are the values in your set?
