A pharmaceutical company is examining the relationship between dosage of a new pain-relief medication and the time it takes for patients to experience pain relief from a headache. Various dosages ranging from 200 to 1,200 milligrams (mg) in 100-milligram increments were given to 41 randomly selected patients, and the time until relief was measured in minutes. A check of the conditions necessary for inference for the slope of a regression line shows that they are met. A 95 percent confidence interval for the slope of the regression line relating the dosage, x, to the time until relief, y, is given by (−4.15,−2.27). Based on the confidence interval, which of the following claims is supported?
