Solution and Explanation

Arranging the heights of 10 girls in ascending order, 128, 132, 135, 139, 141, 143, 146, 149, 150, 151
(i) Height of the tallest girl = 151 cm
(ii) Height of the shortest girl = 128 cm
(iii) Range = (151 - 128) cm = 23 cm
(iv) Mean height = (\(\frac{(135 + 150 + 139 + 128 + 151 + 132 + 146 + 149 + 143 + 141)}{10}\) = \(\frac{1414}{10}\) = 141.4 cm
(v) The heights of 5 girls are greater than the mean height (i.e., 141.4 cm) and these heights are 143, 146, 149, 150, and 151 cm.
