This document contains anthropometric data collected from male and female subjects, including measurements of body dimensions like height, arm length, and hip width. It provides the mean, 5th percentile, and 95th percentile for each dimension for both males and females. The data aims to help with ergonomic design by understanding human body size variations. Equations for calculating percentiles, means, and standard deviations are also included to process the raw measurement data.
4. Objective:
The objective of this experiment is to determine
To know how to perform anthropometrics measurement.
To process the measurements so as to be useful.
To apply the data in the design of work piece, workstation, tools and
equipment to fit to the human body.
Apparatus:
1. Measurement tape.
Equation Used:
1. To calculate a percentile value, simply multiply the standard
deviation S by a factor K. Then add the product to the mean:
p=m + k×s
2. The equation of mean m:
m= (
∑x
n
)
m=mean
x=sample value
n= total of samples
3. The distribution of the data is described by the equation:
S=√
∑( 𝑥−𝑚)2
