Question

A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug for treating insomnia in older subjects. Before treatment, 24 subjects had a mean wake time of 103.0 min. After treatment, the 24 subjects had a mean wake time of 93.6 min and a standard deviation of 24.1 min. Assume that the 24 sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population and construct a 99% 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 103.0 min before the treatment? Does the drug appear to be effective?
