QUESTION 9 A nutritionist claims that children under the age of10 years are consuming more than the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration’s recommended daily allowance of sodium, which is2400 mg. To test this claim, she obtains a random sample of 75children under the age of 10 and measures their daily consumptionof sodium. This sample has a mean of 2610 mg and leads to a p-value of .124. Claim: The mean level of sodium consumption forchildren under 10 years of age is more than 2400 mg. Noting thatthe p -value of .124 is > equation = .05, w hat would be thecorrect response to this claim?
There is not enough information to make a decision.
The evidence is not strong enough to prove the nutrionist'sclaim, therefore, the claim is wrong and the mean sodium level isless than 2400 mg.
The evidence is not strong enough to support the nutriontist'sclaim that the mean sodium level is more than 2400 mg, but thisdoes not mean that the claim is not true.
There is strong evidence to support the nutritionist's claim thethe mean sodium level is more than 2400 mg.
