If the sample was representative of all 25 containers of trail mix, the mode number of pretzels in each container of trail mix is: B. 19.

In Mathematics and Statistics, a mode is a statistical term that is used to denote the value that appears most often or occurs repeatedly in a given data set i.e the number with highest number of frequency in a given data set.

Based on the table of values, the frequency for each of the number of pretzels are, except for 19 that has a frequency of 2 because it appeared twice.

In this context, we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that the mode of the given data set is equal to 19 because it has a maximum frequency of 2.
