I
In a test of the effectiveness of garlic forlowering​ cholesterol,
48
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 meanof
5.4
and a standard deviation of
16.2.
Construct a
99​%
confidence interval estimate of the mean net change in LDLcholesterol after the garlic treatment. What does the confidenceinterval suggest about the effectiveness of garlic in reducingLDL​ cholesterol?Click here to view a t distributiontable.
