ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2 

Given Window Placement Standing eye heights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 1634 mm and a standard deviation of 66 mm.

So mean \(\mu=1634\) and standard deviation \(\sigma=66\)

a). If a window is positioned so that it is comfortable for men with standing eye heights greater than 1500 mm.

So \(x=1500\)

Then we have to find the percentage of men who will find that height comfortable.
