- n a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 42 subjects were treated with garlic in a processed tablet form. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before-after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 4.4 and a standard deviation of 18.6. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment.

Prior to this study of cell phone use, the rate of such cancer was found to be 0.0318% for those not using cell phones. Complete parts (a) and (b) a)use the sample data to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of cell phone users who develop cancer of the brain or nervous system. ____% < p < ____% b)do cell phone users appear to have a rate of cancer of the brain or nervous system that is different from the rate of such cancer among those not using cell phones. Why or why not? a) Yes, because 0.0318% is not included in the confidence interval b) Yes, because 0.0318% is included in the confidence interval c) No, because 0.0318% is not included in the confidence interval d) No, because 0.0318% is included in the confidence intervalarrow_forwardA study was conducted to measure the effectiveness of hypnotism in reducing pain.
