Question

What does the confidence interval suggest about the effectiveness of the treatment?

A.The confidence interval limits contain 0, suggesting that the garlic treatment tdid not

affect the LDL cholesterol levels.

B.The confidence interval limits do not contain0, suggesting that the garlic treatment didaffect the LDL cholesterol levels.

C.The confidence interval limitsdo not contain0, suggesting that the garlic treatment did not

affect the LDL cholesterol levels.

D.The confidence interval limits

contain 0, suggesting that the garlic treatment did

affect the LDL cholesterol levels.

In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 47 subjects were treated with garlic in a processed tablet form. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 2.9 and a standard deviation of 17.1 Complete parts (a) and (b) below.

a. what is the best point estimate of the population mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment?

the best point estimate is?? mg/dl (type an integar or a decimal)

b. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment. What does the confidence interval suggest about the effectiveness of garlic in reducing LDL cholesterol?

What is the confidence interval estimate of the population mean ? ?? mg/dl < < ?? mg/dl (round to two decimal places as needed)

c.

Explanation / Answer

Solution:-

=> option  A. The confidence interval limits contain 0., suggesting that the garlic treatment did not affect the LDL cholesterol levels.

=> a. the best point estimate of the population net change is 2.9 mg/dL

b. ME = 2.58*17.1/sqrt(47) = 6.4353

= > 2.9 - 6.4353 <   <  2.9 + 6.4353

=> -3.5353 mg/dl <   < 9.3353

99 CA ::-3.5353 mg/dl <   < 9.3353
