A study was conducted to measure the effectiveness of hypnotism
in reducing pain. The measurements are centimeters on a pain scale
before and after hypnosis. Assume that the paired sample data are
simple random samples and that the differences have a distribution
that is approximately normal. Construct a 95% confidence
interval for the mean of the
"before−after"
differences. Does hypnotism appear to be effective in
reducing pain?

Does hypnotism appear to be effective in
reducing pain?
A. No, because the confidence
interval does not include and is entirely greater than zero.
B. Yes, because the confidence
interval includes zero.
C. No, because the confidence
interval includes zero.
D. Yes, because the confidence
interval does not include and is entirely greater than
zero.
