Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

The mode is a measure of the number with the highest frequency in a group of data. In the set of values (32, 21, 68, 21), the number that appears most is 21 and this is the mode.

If a set of data has two modes, it is bi-modal. If it has several modes, it is multi-modal

Consider the set of data below

2,2,3,3,5,7,8

The numbers 2 and 3 appears with the same frequency, therefore this set of data is bi-modal.
