Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 242 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 126.8 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 170.03 cm and a standard deviation of 6.85 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme? Since the z score for the tallest man is z = and the z score for the shortest man is z = |, the man had the height that was more extreme. (Round to two decimal places.) shortest tallest

Use z scores to compare the given values.
The tallest living man at one time had a height of 242 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 126.8 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of
170.03 cm and a standard deviation of 6.85 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme?
Since the z score for the tallest man is z = and the z score for the shortest man is z =
|, the
man had the height that was more extreme.
(Round to two decimal places.)
