Oscoccygis: This term does not seem to exist in medical terminology. It might be a misspelling of "os coccygis," which refers to the coccyx or tailbone. This is a bone, not a process related to bone nutrition. Show more…

Bone is hardened by the minerals ______ and ______.
Healthy bones The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of calcium for women between the ages of 18 and 24 years is 1200 milligrams (mg). Researchers who were involved in a large-scale study of women’s bone health suspected that their participants had significantly lower calcium intakes than the RDA. To test this suspicion, the researchers measured the daily calcium intake of a random sample of 36 women from the study who fell in the desired age range. The Minitab output below displays descriptive statistics for these data, along with the results of a significance test. (a) Determine whether there are any outliers. Show your work. (b) Interpret the P-value in context. (c) Do these data give convincing evidence to support the researchers’ suspicion? Carry out a test to help you answer this question.

Calcium is an essential nutrient in our body. It is important for bone health. Four common calcium-containing supplements are calcium carbonate $\left(\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}\right),$ calcium citrate $\left(\mathrm{Ca}_{3} \mathrm{C}_{12} \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}_{14}\right)$ calcium gluconate $\left(\mathrm{CaC}_{12} \mathrm{H}_{22} \mathrm{O}_{14}\right),$ and calcium lactate $\left(\mathrm{CaC}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}_{6}\right)$. Rank these calcium supplements in terms of the mass percentage of calcium they contain.
