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

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.
