QUESTION 1 - 0/1 POINTS The amount of sodium consumed by American men is normally distributed with a mean of 17.74 grams and a standard deviation of 6.35 grams. If the amount of sodium consumed by American men is in the bottom 7.02%, he does not need to cut back on his sodium intake. What is the highest amount of grams of sodium per day that can be consumed? Round all answers to 3 decimal places where possible. X That's not right. $x = 8.405$ Correct answers: $x = 8.378$ Content attribution

Step 1
The distribution of sodium consumed by American men is normal. Mean ($\mu$) = 17.74 grams Standard deviation ($\sigma$) = 6.35 grams The threshold for not needing to cut back on sodium intake is the bottom 7.02%. This means we are looking for the value of x such Show more…

The average American man consumes 9.7 grams of sodium each day. Suppose that the sodium consumption of American men is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1 grams. Suppose an American man is randomly chosen. Let X = the amount of sodium consumed. Round all numeric answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. What is the distribution of X? X ~ N(,) b. Find the probability that this American man consumes between 8.7 and 10.1 grams of sodium per day. c. The middle 20% of American men consume between what two weights of sodium? Low: High:
