Definition of mode:

Mode: The most frequent number—that is, the number that occurs the highest number of times.

The numbers are given below as

$2,1,5,6,6,3,1,4,4,3,2,1,5,1,5,3$

By rearranging the numbers, we will have

$1,1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,5,5,5,6,6,$

From the set of numbers above, we will see that the number that occurs most is 1

Hence,

The mode of the rolls is

$\Rightarrow1$
