The effectiveness of a blood-pressure drug is being investigated. An experimenter finds that, on average, the reduction in systolic blood pressure is 52.3 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) for a sample of size 6 and a sample standard deviation 16.4 mmHg. How much of mmHg will lower for a typical patient's systolic blood pressure after taking the drug? Estimate with a 90% confidence.

Question

The effectiveness of a blood-pressure drug is being investigated. An experimenter finds that, on average, the reduction in systolic blood pressure is 52.3 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) for a sample of size 6 and a sample standard deviation 16.4 mmHg. How much of mmHg will lower for a typical patient's systolic blood pressure after taking the drug? Estimate with a 90% confidence.

Preliminary:

  1. Is it safe to assume that n≤5%n≤5% of all patients with a systolic blood pressure?
    • No
    • Yes


  2. Is n≥30n≥30 ?
    • No
    • Yes
     

Confidence Interval:What is the 90% confidence interval to estimate the population mean? Round your answer to one decimal place.
