A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug for treating insomnia in older subjects. Before​ treatment, 20 subjects had a mean wake time of 105.0 min. After​ treatment, the 20 subjects had a mean wake time of 98.5 min and a standard deviation of 21.52 min. Assume that the 20 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 105.0 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.
