correct answer is: option b (8)
Explanation: The mode of a dataset is the value that appears most frequently.
Given the dataset 2, 3, 5, 8, 2, 0, 8, 5, 4, 3, p, 2, 8, we are told that the mode is 8. Let's analyze the frequencies of the known values:
- 2: Appears 3 times
- 3: Appears 2 times
- 5: Appears 2 times
- 8: Appears 3 times
- 0: Appears 1 time
- 4: Appears 1 time
Since the mode is 8, and currently 2 and 8 both appear 3 times, p must equal 8 so that 8 becomes the most frequent value (appearing 4 times) and thus the mode.
