Answer: This kind of advertising is accurate.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of their most popular meals are as follows:


\$7,\$8,\$8,\$12,\$13,\$15,\$17,\$18,\ and\ \$20

As we have given that the mode cost of their most popular meals is $8.

As we know that "Mode" refers to the most occurring number that we can found in the data.

Here, we can see that $8 occurs 2 times , which is the most occurring cost among them.

Hence, Mode = $8.

So, This kind of advertising is accurate.
