- An article claims that babies spend twice as much time in REM (rapid eye movement) sleep than adults. This implies that babies have an average of 6 hours of REM sleep per night. A doctor would like to test the hypotheses = 6 versus ≠ 6 where = the true mean amount of REM sleep per night for babies. A 95% confidence interval for the true mean amount of REM sleep per night for babies is (5.45, 6.25) hours. Based on the confidence interval, what conclusion would you make for a test of these hypotheses? The 95% confidence interval include as a plausible value, so we H0. We convincing evidence that the true mean amount of REM sleep per night for babies 6 hours.arrow_forwardConstruct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean of city mileage (MPG) of all cars with a manual transmission.
