Answer:

III. The mode is 2

Explanation:

Mean: (8+2+9+4+2+7+8+0+4+1)/10 = 45/10 = 4.5

Median: (2+7)/2 = 9/2 = 4.5

Mode: There is no mode since 2 and 8 both appear twice (in other words, since they have the same frequency, it's bimodal)

The closest possible choice is III. The mode is 2, but keep in mind that since the data set is bimodal, there is no single mode.
