Question 972228: One of the tallest living men has a height of 234 cm. One of the tallest living women is 218 cm tall. Heights of men have a mean of 180 cm and a standard deviation of 5cm. Heights of women have a mean of 162 cm and a standard deviation of 7cm. Relative to the population of the same gender who is taller? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The man is (234-180)/5 = 54/5= + 10.8 SD
The woman is (218-162)/7 =56/7= 8 SD
The man is taller relative to the population, because he is further from the mean by a standard measure of variability.
