Answer: 3 modes

The three modes are 5, 12, and 150 since they occur the most times and they tie one another in being the most frequent (each occurring 3 times).

Only the 7 and 8 occur once each, and aren't modes. Everything else is a mode. It's possible to have more than one mode and often we represent this as a set. So we'd say the mode is {5, 12, 150} where the order doesn't matter.
