Question
A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug used for treating insomnia in older subjects. After treatment with the drug, 20 subjects had a mean wake
time of 92.5 min and a standard deviation of 43.9 min. Assume that the 20 sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population and construct a 90%
confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of the wake times for a population with the drug treatments. Does the result indicate whether the treatment is
effective?
Find the confidence interval estimate.
min <o<
min
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Does the result indicate whether the treatment is effective?
O A. Yes, the confidence interval indicates that the treatment is effective because the interval does not contain 92.5 minutes.
O B. Yes, the confidence interval indicates that the treatment is not effective because the interval does not contain 92.5 minutes.
O C. Yes, the confidence interval indicates that the treatment is effective because the interval contains 0 minutes.
O D. No, the confidence interval does not indicate whether the treatment is effective.
O E. Yes, the confidence interval indicates that the treatment is not effective because the interval does not contain 0 minutes.
O F. Yes, the confidence interval indicates that the treatment is not effective because the interval contains 0 minutes.
G. Yes, the confidence interval indicates that the treatment is effective because the interval does not contain 0 minutes.
