'If 2 grp have different SD but same mean, how do I know their SD given their combined SD and mean?

Known that

  1. entry IQ of a school is 138 (assume all eligible student will be accepted)
  2. female has lower SD than male
  3. the proportion of the school is 2/5 female, 3/5 male
  4. IQ are normally distributed with mean 100 (all integers)
  5. female and male are each 1/2 of total population.
  6. If the overall SD of the population is 15, what's the estimated SD for male and female?

I tried to do a while loop to calculate, but my female SD was larger than male, guess my equation was wrong somewhere....

the dataset was generated using default_rng.normal

need help how to solve using python
