In a certain city, the average 20- to 29-year old man is 69.8 inches tall, with a standard deviation of 3.0 inches, while the average 20- to 29-year old woman is 64.1 inches tall, with a standard deviation of 3.9 inches. Who is relatively taller, a 75-inch man or a 70-inch woman? Find the corresponding z-scores. Who is relatively taller, a 75-inch man or a 70-inch woman? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) O A. The z-score for the woman, is larger than the z-score for the man, so she is relatively taller. O B. The z-score for the man, is smaller than the z-score for the woman, so he is relatively taller. O C. The z-score for the woman, is smaller than the z-score for the man, so she is relatively taller. O D. The z-score for the man, is larger than the z-score for the woman, so he is relatively taller.

In a certain city, the average 20- to 29-year old man is 69.8 inches tall, with a standard deviation of 3.0 inches, while the average 20- to 29-year old woman is 64.1 inches tall, with a standard
deviation of 3.9 inches. Who is relatively taller, a 75-inch man or a 70-inch woman?
Find the corresponding z-scores. Who is relatively taller, a 75-inch man or a 70-inch woman? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
O A. The z-score for the woman,
is larger than the z-score for the man,
so she is relatively taller.
O B. The z-score for the man,
is smaller than the z-score for the woman,
so he is relatively taller.
O C. The z-score for the woman,
is smaller than the z-score for the man,
so she is relatively taller.
O D. The z-score for the man,
is larger than the z-score for the woman,
