Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and also one of the most important.

The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of calcium for adults is 800 milligrams (mg). A random sample of 18 people with incomes below the poverty level gives the following daily calcium intakes:

686, 433, 743, 647, 734, 641, 993, 620, 574, 634, 850, 858, 992, 775, 1113, 672, 879, 609

At the 1% significance level, do the data provides sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean calcium intake of all people with income levels below the poverty level is less than the RDA of 800 mg?

1.) Calcium is an essential mineral that regulates the heart, is important for blood clotting and for building healthy bones. The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends a daily calcium intake of 1000-1200 mg/day for adult men and women. While calcium is contained in some foods, most adults do not get enough calcium in their diets and take supplements. Unfortunately some of the supplements have side effects such as gastric distress, making them difficult for some patients to take on a regular...
