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.

A manufacturer makes ball bearings out of molten steel. It takes 5.24 cubic centimeters of molten steel to make ? ball bearings
sammy [17]
<span>So we want to know how much ball bearings can be made with 5.24 cm^3 if one ball bearing has a diameter of 1 cm. We know that radius r=d/2=0.5cm So the volume V of one ball bearing is: V=(4/3)*pi*r^3 so V=(4/3)*3.14*(0.5)^3cm^3=0.524cm^3. Now we simply divide the volume of steel by the volume of the ball bearing: 5.24/0.524=10. So we can make 10 ball bearings from 5.24 cm^3 of steel</span>

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

75+150=225 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Separate each layer.

Area1+Area2= Total area

A1= a*b*d

A2=a*c*d

A1=5*5*3=75 in^2

A2=5*10*3=150 in^2

75+150=225 in^2

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

b = -152

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. 7 + 12 = 19
  2. Plug 19 in: \frac{b}{19} = -8  
  3. Multiply each side by 19 to cancel out the 19 under b. It should now look like this: b = -152

I hope this helps!
