A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug for treating insomnia in older subjects. Before treatment,23 subjects had a mean wake time of 104.0 min. After treatment, the 23 subjects had a mean wake time of 79.5 min and a standard deviation of 23.92 min. Assume that the 23 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?
Construct the 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean wake time for a population with the treatment.
