A researcher collected sample data for 19 middle-aged women. The sample had a mean serum cholesterol level (measured in milligrams per one hundred milliliters) of 192.4, with a standard deviation of 8.2.

in a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 43 subjects were treated with garlic in a processed tablet form. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes in their levels of LDL cholesterol have a mean of 5.7 and a standard deviation of 17.7. Construct a 99% 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 and reducing LDL cholesterol?
Researchers from a certain country were interested in how characteristics of the spleen of residents in their tropical environment compare to those found elsewhere in the world. The researchers randomly sampled 91 males and 109 females in their country. The mean and standard deviation of the spleen lengths for the males were 10.9 cm and 0.9 cm, respectively, and those for the females were 9.8 cm and 1.1 cm, respectively. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the difference between mean spleen lengths of males and females in this country. Click here to view page 1 of the table of critical values of t. Click here to view page 2 of the table of critical values of t. Let population 1 be all males in the country and let population 2 be all females in the country.
