For this question, first, we ordered the given data from lowest to highest:


3,4,4,5,6,7,7,8,8,8,8,9

Now, we use the formula for the mean of a data set:


\text{Mean}=(3+4+4+5+6+7+7+8+8+8+8+9)/(12)=(77)/(12)\approx6.42

From the ordered data we get that:


\begin{gathered} \text{Mode}=8 \\ \text{Median}=(7+7)/(2)=7 \end{gathered}
