Answer:

the probability that the woman is taller than the man is  0.1423

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

the men's heights are normally distributed with mean \mu  68

standard deviation \sigma   = 3.1

And

the women's heights are normally distributed with mean \mu  65

standard deviation \sigma   = 2.8

We are to find the probability that the woman is taller than the man.

For woman now:

mean  \mu = 65

standard deviation \sigma = 2.8

P(x > 68 ) = 1 - p( x< 68)

\\ 1 -p  \ P[(x - \mu ) / \sigma < (68-25)/ 2.8]

= 1-P (z , 1.07)

Using z table,

= 1 - 0.8577

= 0.1423

Thus, the probability that the woman is taller than the man is  0.1423

What is the method of comparing Coefficient ​
Svetllana [295]

Answer: In mathematics, the method of equating the coefficients is a way of solving a functional equation of two expressions such as polynomials for a number of unknown parameters. It relies on the fact that two expressions are identical precisely when corresponding coefficients are equal for each different type of term.
