Suppose that jumps by Olympic men high jumpers have a normal distribution with a mean 2.12 meters and standard deviation 0.12 meters; women's jumps have a normal distribution with a mean 1.80 meters and standard deviation 0.09 meters. A man and woman Olympic high jumper are picked at random.

(a) What is the probability the sum of their jumps is over 4 meters? (

b) What is the probability that the man jumped higher than the woman?
