Question

A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug used for treating insomnia in older subjects. After treatment with the drug, 12 subjects had a mean wake time of 96.1 min and a standard deviation of 40.1 min. Assume that the 12 sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population and construct a 95 % confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of the wake times for a population with the drug treatments. FInd the confidence interval estimate: ______min<0<_____min (round to 2 decimal places as needed)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
