A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug for treating insomnia in older subjects. Before treatment, 17 subjects had a mean wake time of 104.0 min. After treatment, the 17 subjects had a mean wake time of 97.5 min and a standard deviation of 21.9 min. Assume that the 17 sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population and construct a 95% 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 104.0 min before the treatment? Does the drug appear to be effective?

The 95% confidence interval of mean wake time for a population with treatment is between 86.2401 and  108.7599 minutes.

This interval contains the mean wake time before treatment and which does not prove to be effective

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven that :

sample size n = 17

sample mean = 97.5

standard deviation = 21.9

At 95% Confidence interval

the level of significance ∝ = 1 - 0.95

the level of significance ∝ =  0.05

Degree of freedom df = n - 1

Degree of freedom df = 17 - 1

Degree of freedom df = 16

At ∝ =  0.05 and df = 16 , the two tailed critical value from the t-table is :2.1199

Therefore; at 95% confidence interval; the mean wake time is:

=

=

= 97.5 ± 11.2599

= (86.2401 , 108.7599)

Therefore; the mean wake time before the treatment was 104.0 min

The 95% confidence interval of mean wake time for a population with treatment is between 86.2401 and  108.7599 minutes.

This interval contains the mean wake time before treatment and which does not prove to be effective
