Over the past several months, an adult patient has been treated for tetany (severe muscle spasms). This condition is associated with an average total calcium level below 6 mg/dl. Recently, the patient's total calcium tests gave the following readings (in mg/dl). Assume that the population ofx values has an approximately normal distribution.

Extracted text: an average total calcium level below 6 mg/dl. Recently, the patient's total calcium tests gave the following readings (in mg/dl).
