A pharmaceutical company claims that its new drug reduces systolic blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure (in millimeters of mercury) for nine patients before taking the new drug and 22 hours after taking the drug are shown in the table below. Using this data, find the 99%99% confidence interval for the true difference in blood pressure for each patient after taking the new drug. Assume that the blood pressures are normally distributed for the population of patients both before and after taking the new drug.Patient123456789Blood pressure (before)189189185185180180202202171171176176158158164164199199Blood pressure (after)178178176176168168196196153153156156147147144144188188Copy DataStep 1 of 4 : Find the point estimate for the population mean of the paired differences.

A pharmaceutical company claims that its new drug reduces systolic blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure (in millimeters of mercury) for nine patients before taking the new drug and 22 hours after taking the drug are shown in the table below. Using this data, find the 99%99% confidence interval for the true difference in blood pressure for each patient after taking the new drug. Assume that the blood pressures are normally distributed for the population of patients both before and after taking the new drug.

Step 1 of 4 :

Find the point estimate for the population mean of the paired differences. Let x1x1 be the blood pressure before taking the new drug and x2x2 be the blood pressure after taking the new drug and use the formula d=x2−x1d=x2−x1 to calculate the paired differences. Round your answer to one decimal place.

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.
