Probability on recommended daily allowance


Question: A nutritionist thinks the average person with an income below the poverty level gets less than the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of 800 mg of calcium. To test her conjecture, she obtains the daily intakes of calcium for a random sample of 45 people with incomes below the poverty level. The mean of the sample is 737.3 mg with sample standard deviation of 262.2 mg. Is there sufficient evidence at the alpha =0.05 level to support the researcher's claim?
