Answer:Mean=17, Mode=6

Explanation:

1) Put all numbers in order from smallest to greatest. 3,6,6,15,17,24,28,37 (15 and 17 are the two middle numbers in this 8-number series, so to get the median we must add 15 and 17 and then divide by 2 to get 16)

2)The MEAN is found by adding all the numbers in the series and dividing by the total number of numbers (8). 136/8=17

3) The MODE is the number in the series that occurs most often. 6 appears twice and all the other numbers only appear once, so 6 is the mode.
