Mean: Multiply each of the values by the corresponding frequency. Add all of these products, i.e. 609 times 13 plus 541 times 6, and so on. Divide that result by the sum of the frequencies (56)

Median: Write the values in numerical order, smallest to largest. Beneath each value write the frequency. The Median is the middle value. Since you have an even number of values, i.e. 56, the Median is the average of the 28th and 29th value. By going across and adding the frequencies from left to right until you find where the 28th and 29th value are, you can then find the Median.

Mode: The Mode is the value with the highest frequency. You can find this by inspection of the given distribution.
