The heights of 10 girls were measured in cm and the results are as follows:
135, 150, 139, 128, 151, 132, 146, 149, 143, 141.
(i) What is the height of the tallest girl? (ii) What is the height of the shortest girl?
(iii) What is the range of the data? (iv) What is the mean height of the girls?
(v) How many girls have heights more than the mean height.



Answer -

First we have to arrange the given data in an ascending order,
= 128, 132, 135, 139, 141, 143, 146, 149, 150, 151
(i) The height of the tallest girl is 151 cm
(ii) The height of the shortest girl is 128 cm
(iii) Range of given data = Tallest height – Shortest height
= 151 – 128
= 23 cm
(iv) Mean height of the girls = Sum of height of all the girls/ Number of girls
= (128 + 132 + 135 + 139 + 141 + 143 + 146 + 149 + 150
+ 151)/ 10
= 1414/10
= 141.4 cm
(v) 5 girls have heights more than the mean height (i.e. 141.4 cm).
