Default Math Q.

Suppose I have two distributions, and for now let's cheat and call them normal. If I know the standard deviations of both, Now suppose I take a random data point from both distributions. What I want to know is how to calculate the chance that the point from the more variant distribution is farther from its mean than the random point from the less variant distribution. The general solution would be quite useful for me right about now.
