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.
