The standard deviation from the mean of a young (30-year old) adult is called a t-score.
If the t-score is -1, it means that the bone density is 1 standard deviation below the mean.
It is generally considered a t-score between -1 and -2.5 low bone density.
Patients with t-scores below -2.5 (e.g. -3) is considered suffering from osteoporosis.  Also, patients within this range AND suffered from one or more fractures is considered established osteoporosis.

A weight lifter can bench press 189 kg. How many milligrams (mg) is this?
Inessa [10]

A weight lifter can bench press 189 kg. How many milligrams (mg) is this?

Answer: We know that:

1kg=1,000,000 mg

We are given, that a weight lifter can bench press 189 kg

Therefore, a weight lifter can bench press:

189 \times 1,000,000 mg

189,000,000mg

18.9 \times 10^{7} mg

Therefore, 18.9 \times 10^{7} mg is equal to the 189 kg

Find the x and y intercept for -2x-5y=30
Ahat [919]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x-5y=30

To find the x intercept, set y =0 and solve for x

-2x-5*0=30

-2x = 30

Divide each side by -2

-2x/-2 = 30/-2

x =-15

To find the y intercept, set x =0 and solve for y

-2*0-5y=30

-5y = 30

Divide each side by -5

-5y/-5 = 30/-5

y = -6
