You also need to color the area to the right of the left blue line that is under the green dotted curve, but above the black dotted curve.

When you do, approximately 40% of women are capable of the minimum required of men.

True, good point, but I am not sure about 40%...when I made the curve, I used the medically accepted information in black as assumptions laid out, but the actual amplitude and width of the curves might be different.

I just used the bell shaped curve for men, then added the assumption that the width of the curve for women’s strength is going to be narrower simply due to biology...that is it won’t be the same shape as the mens curve, since most men have the advantage of testosterone to give us strength, where women will only be able to achieve a similar distribution if they all worked out extensively...which they won’t, since guys don’t either.

I guess the point is, the areas under the curve that you might have used to get 40% might just be invalidated by taking things even beyond my final assumption (one assumption too far...but your point about the additional area is correct!)
