I work in a hospital as a respiratory therapist. Part of my job is mechanically ventilating people. A good guideline is 5-12 ml/kg for adults and 5-10ml/kg for infants and children. This is based on their ideal body weight (IBW). So an average adult is about female is about 70kg. Lets use 8ml/kg that would mean her lung capacity or tidal volume is approx. 560ml (70kg x 8ml/kg). So a child that is 60lbs would be around 27kg. If we use 8ml/kg to figure out their tidal volume it would be 216ml. Total lung capacity would likely be slightly more since we have a residual volume of air that we breath out only when we use force to exhale.

The average lung capacity is 26 oz. of oxygen.

The lung capacity vary on the person's age, gender, where he lives and more. For example, if he lives in a smoke-free area his lung capacity is probably more. The average lung capacity for a human is 4-6 liters of air and the average lung capacity for a 10-11 year old is around 4 liters.
approximatly 5 and a half (5.5)
Because the volume of their lung capacity is smaller
70,000 Per Year !
Depends on the boy
Depending on the year it can range anywhere from $3700 which is the average price for a 2001 to $22,300 which is the average price for a 2009.
Around the 95 range.

About 5'6" for guys (Average height range 5'2"-5'10") and for girls about 5'4" (Average height range 5'0"-5'8")
Are you looking for actual size or for capacity. I believe the capacity is are 1.5 quarts, but it has the ability to expand.

It is within the average range
