4b) Work out the mean and standard deviation of the following: picture included

Note: I ended up with the simultaneous equations, which are correct according to the markscheme BUT the answers I got upon solving them were incorrect.
μ = 170 + 1.6449σ
μ = 180 - 0.8416σ

What I got after solving these were:
μ = 169.5306859
σ = 12.44864932

But according to the markscheme, I should have gotten:
μ = 176.615...
σ = 4.021...

Can someone explain to me where I've gone wrong?

Answer:

Yes, your simultaneous equations are correct;

Solve them like so:

170 + 1.6449σ = 180 - 0.8416

2.4865σ = 10

σ = 4.0217...

μ = 170 + 1.6449(4.0217...)

μ = 176.615...

MS is correct, you must've made an error in solving or rearranging
