Question 326568: Engineers want to design seats in commercial airlines so that they are wide enough to fit 98% of all males.
Men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 14.4 inches and a standard deviation of 1.0 inches.
What seat width would fit all men except the tallest 2%?

Round your answer to two decimal places.
----------------------
Find the z-value with a 98% left tail = invNorm(0.98) = 2.0537
----
Find the corresponding x-value using x = zs+u
----
x = 2.0537*1+14.4 = 16.45 inches
