Sandra Bullock was younger relative to their genders.

Work Step by Step

The z-scores: Sandra Bullock: $z=\frac{value-mean}{standard \ deviation}=\frac{45-35.9}{11.1}=0.82$. Jeff Bridges: $z=\frac{value-mean}{standard \ deviation}=\frac{60-44.1}{6}=1.77$. Sandra Bullock's z-score is lower, therefore she was younger relative to their genders.
