Question
A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug for treating insomnia in older subjects. Before treatment,
13
subjects had a
104.0
min. After treatment, the
13
subjects had a mean wake time of
82.1
min and a standard deviation of
23.6
min. Assume that the
13
sample values appear to be from a
90%
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?
