    Solution:

    Interpret:
    Two Variables were given in this question;
    But Main variable is Height(cm).

    Explain:
    Mean=sum of all values/total Numbers

    Range is the difference between greatest and lowest value.


    Std. Deviation is the positive square root of variance.
    Skewness is the data distribution shape is positively skewed.
    Kurtosis is the sharpness of the peak of a frequency-distribution curve.
    Comment:
    The value of kurtosis is positive. So it is leptokurtic.
    Answers:
    Mean=135.30
    Range=110
    Std. Deviation=23.908
    Skewness=2.486
    Kurtosis=8.197
    Result:
