those notes are called altissimo notes. you first must develop the concept of overblowing notes to hit altissimo notes. hit a low Bb. then visualize a Bb an octave above. then use the same Bb keys to hit a Bb an octave higher. then try an F. but use the same fingerings as a low Bb. this is called the overtone series, a system of notes that can be played by overblowing. the easiest note to hit all the notes in an overtone series is the low Bb. the reason you need to do this is because the fingerings you will find won't hit the notes you want unless you know how to overblow by visualizing the notes you want to play. when this is mastered, find an altissimo fingering chart and you will be on your way. your embouchure should not change at all when you play any notes, including the altissimo. other websites will explain this with more detail.

Is it true that an average saxophone's range is b flat to f sharp?
It depends on the saxophone and how skilled the player may be. The official range is from low Bb to High F. Although if you have an altissimo saxophone, you are able to play High F#. You can just about play any note you want in altissimo range, it doesn't have to require any additional buttons. Some skilled players can reach notes up to 5 ledger lines above the treble clef at a high C. Some players are able to go as high as their lips can handle. (Requires a lot of practice and skill)
