Question

The effectiveness of a blood-pressure drug is being investigated. An experimenter finds that, on average, the reduction in systolic blood pressure is 68.2 for a sample of size 20 and standard deviation 7.9. Estimate how much the drug will lower a typical patient's systolic blood pressure (using a 90% confidence level). Assume the data is from a normally distributed population.

Enter your answer as a tri-linear inequality accurate to three decimal places.

< μμ <

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.
