<h3>Answer:  5</h3>

=================================

Explanation:

Apply the difference of squares rule

x^2 - y^2 = (x-y)(x+y)

x^2 - y^2 = (5)(1)

x^2 - y^2 = 5

----------

Alternatively, you can solve the system

\begin{cases}x-y=5\\x+y = 1\end{cases}

for x and y to get (x,y) = (3,-2).

Then compute x^2-y^2 = 3^2-(-2)^2 = 9-4 = 5

vodomira [7]

• We are told that the average height : Mean () = 65

,

• Standard deviation : SD () = 2.2

= {65 + 6.6 ; 65 -6.6}

= {71.6 ; 58.4}

• This means that 95 % 0f women height will range between ( 58.4 ) and (71.6 )
