Given,

Heights of 10 girls (in cm) =  135, 150, 139, 128, 151, 132, 146, 149, 143, 141

Arranging the above data 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 of the data = (151 -128)\ cm

= 23\ cm

(iv)  We know, Arithmetic mean = \frac{sum\ of\ observations}{number\ of\ observation}

\\ = \frac{128+ 132+ 135+ 139+ 141+ 143+ 146+ 149+ 150+ 151}{10} \\ = \frac{1414}{10} \\ \\ = 141.4\ cm

Therefore, mean height of the girls is 141.4\ cm

(iv) Here, mean height = 141.4\ cm

And, 143, 146,149,150,151 are more than 141.4

Therefore, 5  girls have height more than the average height.
