Standard Size

There are standards for this. I don't have my text books, but I have done ergonomics. The "standard" North American male (for engineering and architectural purposes) is 5'10" and weighs 170 lbs. Height is about right but real Americans are often somewhere between obese and morbidly so. The standard woman is 5'4". Standard deviation for men is 2", women 1.5".
