Can you help me with a,b,c,d The article "Evaluation of a Ventilation Strategy to Prevent Barotrauma in Patients at HighRisk for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome" (New Engl. J. of Med., 1998: 355–358)reported on an experiment in which 120 patients with similar clinical features were randomlydivided into a control group and a treatment group, each consisting of 60 patients. Thesample mean ICU stay (days) and sample standard deviation for the treatment group were|19.9 and 39.1, respectively, whereas these values for the control group were 13.7 and 15.8.a. Calculate a point estimate for the difference between true average ICU stay for thetreatment and control groups. Does this estimate suggest that there is a significant differencebetween true average stays under the two conditions?b. Answer the question posed in part (a) by carrying out a formal test of hypotheses. Is theresult different from what you conjectured in part (a)?c. Does it appear that ICU stay for patients given the ventilation treatment is normallydistributed? Explain your reasoning.d. Estimate true average length of stay for patients given the ventilation treatment in a waythat conveys information about precision and reliability.
