we know that Arithmetic mean time of a oscillating simple pendulum is given by 
∑ Xi / N = > { 90s+92s+93s+95s }/4   => 92 s 
and we know that mean deviation of a simple pendulum is given by 
∑ | Xbar  -  Xi |/N    = >  {2+1+3+0} /4  = >  1.5 
Given minimum division in the measuring clock , ie . simple pendulum = > 1s 
thus the reported mean time of a oscillating simple pendulum (92+,-2) s
