Question 1145026: A common design requirement is that an item (such as an aircraft or theater seat) must fit the range of people who fall between the 5th percentile for women and the 95th percentile for men. If this requirement is adopted, what is the minimum sitting distance and what is the maximum sitting distance? For the sitting distance, use the buttock-to-knee length. Men have buttock-to-knee lengths that are normally distributed with a mean of 23.5 in. And a standard deviation of 1.1 in. Women have a buttock-to-knee lengths that are normally distributed with a mean of 22.7 in. And a standard deviation of 1.0 in.
