...[personal profile] damerell and [livejournal.com profile] kht on 0.9. My calculations typically came out around 0.903 or so. Figures are from here

>>>sum([random.normalvariate(69.3, 2.92) > random.normalvariate(64.1, 2.75) for i in range(10000000)])
9025814


The sample size is too small to draw firm conclusions, but there seems to be a trend (with exceptions) that men thought the probability was smaller than women did. Also both people who commented with some sort of reasoning went for 0.7, really quite on the low side.
