Mean: 87.5
Mode: NO mode
Median: 88

Explanation:

Mean = #"sum of all the numbers"/"how many numbers there are"#

There are 6 numbers and their sum is 525

Therefore, their mean is #525/6=87.5#

Mode is the number with the highest frequency ie which number appears the most in the sequence

In this case, there is NO mode because each number there appears only once

Median is the middle number when you place the numbers in ascending order

79, 85, 86, 90, 92, 93

The middle number is between 86 and 90. So your middle number can be found by #(86+90)/2=88#
So your median is 88
