To find the mode of the given frequency distribution, follow these steps:
1. Identify the frequencies of each score:
[tex]\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\text{Score}, \, x & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 \\
\hline
\text{Frequency}, \, f & 1 & 1 & 1 & 3 & 8 & 7 & 4 & 4 & 4 & 1 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\][/tex]
2. Recognize the highest frequency in the distribution. Here, the highest frequency is 8.
3. Identify the score(s) corresponding to this highest frequency. By examining the table, the score corresponding to the highest frequency of 8 is [tex]\(5\)[/tex].
Thus, the mode for this frequency distribution is the score [tex]\(5\)[/tex], because it appears more frequently than any other score.
Therefore, the answer is:
A. The mode(s) is/are [tex]\(5\)[/tex].
