A patient records her sodium intake for 5 days. The amounts are 2150 mg, 1930 mg, 3005 mg, 2700 mg, and 2315 mg. What is the patient's average daily intake of sodium?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The average intake is: 2420mg

Explanation:

Given

[tex]Intakes: 2150 mg,\ 1930 mg,\ 3005 mg,\ 2700 mg,\ 2315 mg.[/tex]

[tex]n= 5[/tex]

Required

Determine the average intake

To do this, we simply calculate the average using:

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = \frac{2150mg + 1930mg + 3005mg + 2700mg + 2315mg}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = \frac{12100mg}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x = 2420mg[/tex]
