ARRANGE THE SCORES IN INCREASING ORDER...WE GET
79,83,86,92,93
NOW
MEAN =(79+83+86+92+93)/5=433/5=86.6
MEDIAN=MIDLE SCORE=86
MODE=SCORE WITH MAXIMUM FREQUENCY...HERE ALL HAVE SAME FREQUENCY ...ONE ONLY ...IN CASE 2 OR MORE SCORES HAVE SAME FREQUENCY WE TAKE THEIR AVERAGE AS THE MODE...HERE MODE COINCIDES WITH MEAN AS ALL SCORES ARE HAVING SAME FREQUENCY.
MEAN IS CONSIDERED THE BEST REPRESENTATION FOR CENTRAL TENDENCY.
