The distributions of the heights of women and of men both produce normal curves, as shown. The mean height of the women is and the mean height of the men is The heights of these women and men are now combined to form a new set of data. Assuming that the combined heights also produce a normal curve, copy the graph opposite and sketch onto it the curve for the combined heights of the women and men.
