To find the mode of a set of data, we need to identify the number that appears most frequently in the set.

Let's organize the data and count the frequency of each number:

- 10 appears 1 time
- 12 appears 2 times
- 17 appears 2 times
- 18 appears 1 time
- 20 appears 1 time
- 25 appears 1 time
- 26 appears 1 time
- 30 appears 1 time

Both 12 and 17 are the most frequent numbers in the set, each appearing 2 times. Therefore, this data set has two modes (it is bimodal), and the modes are 12 and 17.
