ok so you have to use that equation Z=mean-value (given)/standard deviation sooo....
MAN-----> Z=(70-75)/4.0
WOMAN-----> Z= (65-70)/3.5
then you get 2 Z scores...then which ever has the HIGHER Z score is taller based on their group

The woman is relatively taller to other women then the man is to other men since women deviate less on average from the mean.

Look at the difference in standard deviation to see relativity of height.
