Mean : or average, sum the values and divide by total number of values.
Mean = (4+6+4+6+5+4+4+5+7+4+3+6+5+8+4)/15=75/15=5.

.
.
Median : Order the set from smallest to largest, find the middle value.
(3,4,4,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,6,6,6,7,8)
Since there are 15 values, the 8th value is the median.
Median = 5.
.
.
.
Mode: We can look at the data with a horizontal bar graph with each X representing one occurence.
The value with the most occurences is the mode.
.
.
.
3:X
4:XXXXXX
5:XXX
6:XXX
7:X
8:X
.
.
.
The mode is 4.

first you need to arrange these integers in assending values:
3 4 4 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 6 6 6 7 8
the mean (average )=sum/number of integers:
mean=75/15=5 answer.
medium=the middle integer:
medium=5 answer.
mode=the most frequent integer.
mode=4 (freqency=6) answer.
