Step-by-step explanation:
172-162 = 10
We can find the standard deviation of D by adding the variances of the heights and taking the square root:

Representing probability with area
When D= M-W =0, their heights are equal. When the man is taller, D is positive, and when the woman is taller, D is negative. Since we know the distribution of the difference D is normally distributed, the probability that the woman is taller than the man can be found by calculating the shaded area below D=0, in the corresponding normal distribution:
A standard normal curve is plotted on a horizontal axis representing D, that goes from negative 17 to 37. The mean, or mu sub D, = 10. The standard deviations, or sigma sub D = 9. The value 0 is marked. The area under the curve to the left of 0 is shaded, representing the probability that the woman is taller. The area to the right represents the probability that the man is taller.
