and a standard deviation of 2.6 in.

(Source: based on anthropometric survey data from Gordon, Churchill, et al.)

a. If an eye recognition security system is positioned at a height that is uncomfortable for men with

standing eye heights greater than 70 in., what percentage of men will find that height

uncomfortable?

b. In positioning the eye recognition security system, we want it to be suitable for the tallest 98% of
