Wright et al. [A-2] used the 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES) to estimate dietary intake of 10 key nutrients. One of those nutrients was calcium (mg). They found in all adults 60 years or older a mean daily calcium intake of 721 mg with a standard deviation of 454. Using these values for the mean and standard deviation for the U. S. population, find and interpret the probability that a random sample of size 50 will a mean:

Wright et al. [A-2] used the 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey NHANES) to estimate dietary intake of 10 key nutrients. One of those nutrients was calcium in all adults 60 years or older a mean daily calcium intake of 721 mg with a standard deviation of 454. Usin these values for the mean and standard deviation for the U.S. population, find the probability that a randonm sample of size 50 will have a mean: (mg). They found a) Greater than 800 mg b) Less than 700 mg. c) Between 700 and 850 mg.

0.3718

0.9778

0.606

Step-by-step explanation:

μ = 721 ; σ = 454 ; n = 50

P(x > 800)

Zscore = (x - μ) / σ/sqrt(n)

P(x > 800) = (800 - 721) ÷ 454/sqrt(50)

P(x > 800) = 79 / 64.205295

P(x > 800) = 1.23

P(Z > 1.23) = 0.10935

2.)

Less than 700

P(x < 700) = (700 - 721) ÷ 454/sqrt(50)

P(x < 700) = - 21/ 64.205295

P(x < 700) = - 0.327

P(Z < - 0.327) = 0.3718

Between 700 and 850

P(x < 850) = (850 - 721) ÷ 454/sqrt(50)

P(x < 850) = 129/ 64.205295

P(x < 700) = 2.01

P(Z < 2.01) = 0.9778

P(x < 850) - P(x < 700) =

P(Z < 2.01) - P(Z < - 0.327)

0.9778 - 0.3718

= 0.606

something that characterises a right triangle is the fact that we may use pythagoras' theorem to find any one of its sides given that we have the length of the other two sides. here, we have the length of the hypotenuse, √(87) yd, and one other side, √(23) yd, thus we can easily find the length of the remaining side using pythagoras' theorem as defined below:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.

thus, given that c = √(87) and a = √(23), we may substitute these into the formula we defined above to get:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

(√87)^2 = (√23)^2 + b^2 (substitute c = √87 and a = √23 into the equation)

87 = 23 + b^2 (evaluate (√87)^2 = 87 and (√23)^2 = 23 - remember that the square root of a number, squared will equal that very same number)

64 = b^2 (subtract 23 from both sides)

√64 = b (take the square root of both sides)

8 = b (evaluate √64 = 8)

therefor, the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 8 yd (first answer).
