52, 52, and 51.75

Explanation:

The Mode is the most occurring number. In this case 52 appears 3 times, 49 appears twice and all other numbers appear once. Mode is 52.

The median is the middle number. In this case with 8 numbers it is a bit tricky. However, if you get rid of the 3 highest numbers (61, 58, and 52) and get rid of the 3 lowest numbers ( 41, 49 and 49) you are left with 52 and 52. If you have a median pair you take the average of those 2 numbers which in this case is still 52. Median is 52.

Mean is just the average. Add them all up and divide by the number of numbers. In this case the total is 414 and the number of numbers is 8. 414/8 = 51.75
