To find the mean (average) of the individual earnings, we add up all the amounts and divide by the number of members: 
(mean) = (7 + 13 + 3 + 5 + 2 + 9 + 3) / 7 = 42 / 7 = 6.

To find the mode, we look for the amount that appears most frequently. In this case, there is no mode, since no amount appears more than once.

To find the median, we need to arrange the amounts in order from smallest to largest and find the middle value. 
2, 3, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13
The middle value is 5, so the median is 5.
