A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of the drug zopiclone for treating insomnia in older subjects. Before t

reatment with zopiclone, 16 subjects had a mean wake time of 102.8 minutes. After treatment with zopiclone, the 16 subjects had a mean wake time of 98.9 minutes and s standard deviation of 42.3 minutes. Assume that the 16 sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population and construct a 98% 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 102.8 minutes before the treatment? Does zopiclone appear to be effective?

Answer:

We cannot say that the mean wake time are different before and after the treatment, with 98% certainty. So the zopiclone doesn't appear to be effective.

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal of this analysis is to determine if the mean wake time before the treatment is statistically significant. The question informed us the mean wake time before and after the treatment, the number of subjects and the standard deviation of the sample after treatment. So using the formula, we can calculate the confidence interval as following:

IC[\mu ; 98\%] = \overline{y} \pm t_{0.99,n-1}\sqrt{\frac{Var(y)}{n}}

Knowing that t_{0.99,15} = 2.602:

IC[\mu ; 98\%] = 98.9 \pm 2.602\frac{42.3}{4} \Rightarrow 98.9 \pm 27.516

IC[\mu ; 98\%] = [71.387 ; 126,416]

Note that 102.8 \in [71.384 ; 126.416] so we cannot say, with 98% confidence, that the mean wake time before treatment is different than the mean wake time after treatment. So the zopiclone doesn't appear to be effective.

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

720 Quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{100}{5} = \frac{x}{36}

cross multiply

\frac{100}{5}*\frac{36}{36} = \frac{x}{36}*\frac{5}{5}\\\\\frac{3,600}{180}=\frac{5x}{180}

now that they are both divided by 180, we can eliminate it

3,600=5x\\\\\frac{3,600}{5}=\frac{5x}{5}\\\\720=x

56of the 90pets in the pet show are cats 4/5of the cats are calico cats. What fraction of the pets are calico cats?
meriva
To get the answer, we can divide 56 by 5 to find one fifth of the cats. Then, we can multiply this number to get four fifths of the cats. Then, we put this number over 90 since there is 90 pets in the entire show. Then, this answer ends up being about half all of the pets are calicos.
