Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

\(\begin{array}{c|c}x & f & fx\\ \hline 0 & 3 & 0\\ 1 & 5 & 5\\ 2 & 7 & 14\\ 3 & 4 & 12\\4 & 1 & 4\\5 & 0 & 0\end{array}\)
\(\sum{f}\) = 10

\(\sum fx\) = 35

Mean = \(\frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}\)

= \(\frac{35}{20}\)

= \(\frac{7}{4}\)

= 1.75

Mode = 2

= 1.75, 2
