A medical researcher wants to estimate the average decrease in cholesterol following treatment with a new drug. They obtain a random sample of 400 subjects with high cholesterol using the new drug. The average decrease in cholesterol level is  = 90 and the researcher knows that the decrease in cholesterol has a standard deviation s= 30. Construct a 95% confidence interval for m to estimate the average decrease in cholesterol in the population. (
