Study on waking sleepers early. Scientists have discovered increased levels of the hormone adrenocorticotropin in people just before they awake from sleeping (Nature , January 7, 1999). In the study described, 15 subjects were monitored during their sleep after being told that they would be woken at a particular time. One hour prior to the designated wake-up time, the adrenocorticotropin level (pg/mL) was measured in each, with the following results:
a. Use a 95% confidence interval to estimate the true mean adrenocorticotropin level of sleepers one hour prior to waking.
b. Interpret the interval you found in part a in the words of the problem.
c. The researchers also found that if the subjects were woken three hours earlier than they anticipated, the average adrenocorticotropin level was 25.5 pg/mL. Assume that μ = 25.5 for all sleepers who are woken three hours earlier than expected. Use the interval from part a to make an inference about the mean adrenocorticotropin level of sleepers under two conditions: one hour before the anticipated wake-up time and three hours before the anticipated wake-up time.
