Go to a z-table and find the value closest to 0.64. The z-score that corresponds to this is 0.36. (NOTE: the z-score of 0.36 has nothing to do with the upper value of 36%. This is just a coincidence.)

= 0.36

Cross-multiply:

x - 68.8 = 0.8316

x = 69.6316

So, the lower 64%/upper 36% point is 69.6 inches.
