The manager of Golden Ray Corporation receives a bonus if company profits exceed $1,000,000 this year. During the final week of the year, the manager changes an accounting policy that will increase reported profits from $950,000 to $1,025,000, triggering his bonus.

In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol,
45
subjects were treated with garlic in a processed tablet form. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes
(beforeminus−after)
in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of

15.8.
Construct a 95%
confidence interval estimate of the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment. What does the confidence interval suggest about the effectiveness of garlic in reducing LDL cholesterol?
