Given,

Marks obtained the students = 85, 76, 90, 85, 39, 48, 56, 95, 81, 75

Arranging in ascending order = 39, 48, 56, 75, 76, 81, 85, 85, 90, 95

(i) Highest marks obtained = 95

Lowest marks obtained = 39

(ii) Range of marks = Highest marks - Lowest marks

= 95- 39 = 56

(iii) We know, Arithmetic mean

 =\frac{sum\ of\ observations}{number\ of\ observation}

\\ = \frac{39+ 48+ 56+ 75+ 76+ 81+ 85+ 85+ 90+ 95}{10} \\ = \frac{730}{10} \\ \\ = 73

Therefore, mean marks = 73
