B

Explanation

2,5,5,5,6,6,6,6,8,8,median=6,mode=6product =6*6=36To find the product of the modal and the median score from the given distribution of scores, we first need to identify the modal and median scores.The mode is the score that appears most frequently in the distribution. In this case, the score 6 appears most frequently, so the mode is 6.To find the median, we first need to arrange the scores in ascending order: 2, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 8, 8, 8. The median is the middle value. Since there are 10 scores, the median is the average of the 5th and 6th scores, which are both 6.So, the modal score is 6 and the median score is also 6.Now, to find the product of the modal and median score:Product = Modal score * Median scoreProduct = 6 * 6Product = 36Therefore, the product of the modal and median score is 36.
