Mean = $4 113/600$
Median = $3.98$
Mode = $1.20$

Mean is the average of the numbers

$"mean"=(3.56+4.4+6.25+1.2+8.52+1.2)/6$

$"mean"=4 113/600$

Median is the "middle" number when you place your numbers in ascending order

$1.20,1.20,3.56,4.40,6.25,8.52$

Since there are 6 numbers, then the "middle number" is the average of your 3rd and 4th number

$"median"=(3.56+4.40)/2=3.98$

Mode is the number that occurs the most which in this case is $1.20$ since it occurs twice
