To find the mode of the data set, we need to identify the number that appears most frequently.

The numbers in the list are:

  • 8
  • 6
  • 12
  • 5
  • 15
  • 12
  • 3
  • 10
  • 9

Now, let's count the frequency of each number:

  • 8: appears 1 time
  • 6: appears 1 time
  • 12: appears 2 times
  • 5: appears 1 time
  • 15: appears 1 time
  • 3: appears 1 time
  • 10: appears 1 time
  • 9: appears 1 time

The number that appears most frequently is 12, which appears 2 times.

Thus, the mode of the data set is 12.
