Question

Over the past several months, an adult patient has been treated for tetany (severe muscle spasms). This condition is associated with an average total calcium level below 6 mg/dl. Recently, the patient's total calcium tests gave the following readings (in mg/dl). Assume that the population of x values has an approximately normal distribution.

10.10

8.40

10.70

9.50

9.40

9.80

10.00

9.90

11.20

12.10

Use a calculator with mean and sample standard deviation keys to find the sample mean reading x and the sample standard deviation s. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

x= 10.11mg/dl

s=
