A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug for treating insomnia in older subjects. Before treatment, 18 subjects had a mean wake time of 103.0 min. After treatment, the 18 subjects had a mean wake time of 93.2 min and a standard deviation of 21.5 min. Assume that the 18 sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population and construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean wake time for a population with drug treatments. What does the result suggest about the mean wake time of 103.0 min before the treatment? Does the drug appear to be effective? Construct the 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean wake time for a population with the treatment.

Question

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
