A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug used for treating insomnia in older subjects. After treatment with the drug,
1919
subjects had a mean wake time of
98.798.7
min and a standard deviation of
44.744.7
min. Assume that the
1919
sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population and construct a
9898%
confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of the wake times for a population with the drug treatments. Does the result indicate whether the treatment is effective?
