Question

A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of the drug zopiclone for treating insomnia in older subjects. Before treatment with zopiclone, 19 subjects had a mean wake time of 102.0 minutes. After treatment with zopiclone, the 19 subjects had a mean wake time of 92.4 minutes and s standard deviation of 24.9 minutes. Assume that the 19 sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population and construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean wake time for a population with zopiclone treatments. What does the result suggest about the mean wake time of 102.0 minutes before the treatment? Does zopiclone appear to be effective?

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.
