Problem 2 The heights of women aged 20 to 29 are symmetrically distributed with a mean of 64 inches and a standard deviation of 2.7 inches. Men the same age have mean height 69.3 inches with a standard deviation of 2.8 inches. What are the z-scores for a woman 6 feet tall and a man 6 feet tall? Describe in simple language what information the z-scores give that the actual heights do not.
