data set is said to be bimodal.

2. According to ecology winter Jacqueline Killen, phosphates contained in household

detergents pass right through our sewer causing lake to turn into swamps that
eventually dry up into deserts. The following data show the amount of phosphates per
load of laundry, in grams, for random sample of various types of detergents used
according to the prescribed direction. Compute for the mean, median and mode.
