Solution :
Let X be the changes (before -after) in levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL). A random sample of 45 subject were taken and the changes in their levels were observed. the sample mean was 5.3 and standard deviation was 19.7.
The (1-α)*100% confidence interval is given by,
Where, is the sample mean, s is the sample standard deviation, n is the sample size and is the critical value. This can be obtained from the t table with α = 0.01 and df = n - 1 = 44. This gives, the critical value is, 2.690.
And hence the 99% confidence interval for population mean µ is,
this is the required confidence interval. This can be interpreted as, there is 99% confidence that the population mean µ lies within -2.60 and 13.20.

In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 45 subjects were treated with garlic in a processed tablet form. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before-after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 3.6 and a standard deviation of 19.6. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment What does the confidence interval suggest about the effectiveness...
