We have developed a new drug used to reduce fever and want to test its efficacy. Ten ER patients who are running a fever agree to take the new drug instead of the traditional treatment. Their temperatures are taken before the drug is administered and 30 minutes after taking the drug. The results are recorded in the Excel file below. Use the data to construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the mean change in temperatures of patients after taking this drug using Excel. Be sure to include any explanation necessary along with a sentence that explains what the interval means.

Dr. Higney, an academic researcher in an English department, wants to learn about the average length of a novel. In order to do this, Dr. Higney collects data on the word counts of 200 randomly selected novels. The sample mean of this data set is = 85252 with a sample standard deviation of 8413 words. Using this data, construct a 90% confidence interval for the true mean length of novels. (84,273.50, 86,230.51) (82719.67,89784.33) (94086.04, 96417.96) (80937.53, 90566.47) S
