Default compression numbers on 1998 Civic DX Auto 2 Door

I am doing a compression test on my 1998 Honda Civic DX and need to know the Normal Compression of the cylinders. I do not want the compression ratio but the actual expected compression in lbs. Thanks

* 8:1-8.5:1 compression: 150-170 psi per cylinder
* 8.5:1~9.5:1 compression: 170-210 psi per cylinder
* 9.5:1~11:1 compression: 210-275 psi per cylinder
* 11:1+ compression: 250+ per cylinder

I gues my next question is what is the compression ratio of my car? This is a bone stock car, nothing has ever been changed.
