In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering​ cholesterol, 47 subjects were treated with garlic in a processed tablet f

orm. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes ​(beforeminus​after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol​ (in mg/dL) have a mean of 2.7 and a standard deviation of 17.8. Construct a 90​% 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?

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment is (-1.7, 7.1).

As there are negative values included in the interval, at 90% confidence, we can not conclude there is no enough evidence about the effectiveness of garlic in reducing LDL​ cholesterol, as the true mean net change can be 0 or negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 90% confidence interval for the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment.

The population standard deviation is not known, so we have to estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use a t-students distribution to calculate the critical value.

The sample mean is M=2.7.

The sample size is N=47.

When σ is not known, s divided by the square root of N is used as an estimate of σM:

s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{17.8}{\sqrt{47}}=\dfrac{17.8}{6.856}=2.596

The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:

df=n-1=47-1=46

The t-value for a 90% confidence interval and 46 degrees of freedom is t=1.679.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=t\cdot s_M=1.679 \cdot 2.596=4.4

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=M-t \cdot s_M = 2.7-4.4=-1.7\\\\UL=M+t \cdot s_M = 2.7+4.4=7.1

The 90% confidence interval for the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment is (-1.7, 7.1).

As there are negative values included in the interval, at 90% confidence, we can not conclude there is no enough evidence about the effectiveness of garlic in reducing LDL​ cholesterol, as the true mean net change can be 0 or negative.

Answer:

\$84,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

6\%=6/100=0.06

we know that

The amount the salesman would earn in a year must be equal to the base salary multiplied by 12 (number of months in a year) plus 6% of the amount sold in merchandise in a year

so                                                

4,000(12)+0.06(600,000)=\$84,000

Whats the measure of the angles (SHOW HOW YOU SOLVED IT so i can understand)
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

m1 = 68°

m2 = 53°

m3 = 127

m4 = 31°

Step-by-step explanation:

m1 = 90-22

m2 = 68+59=127, 180-127

m3 = 180 - 53

m4 = 127+22=149, 180-149

Someone please help me I’m not good in math
Artist 52 [7]
The missing factor is (a -1) I believe. If you foil (5a + 9)(a - 1) you would get 5a^2 + 4a - 9.
