Gosset used the following data set, which gives the additional sleep in hours obtained by a sample of 10 patients
using laevo-hysocyamine hydrobromide.
1.9, 0.8, 1.1, 0.1, −0.1, 4.4, 5.5, 1.6, 4.6, 3.4
a). Obtain and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the addi- tional sleep that would be obtained on average for all people using laevohysocyamine hydrobromide.
b). Was the drug effective in increasing sleep? Explain your answer.

- Allen's hummingbird has been studied by zoologist Bill Alther. Suppose a small group of 16 Allen's hummingbirds has been under study in Arizona. The average weight for these birds is x=3.15 grams. Based on previous studies, we can assume that the weights of Allen's hummingbirds have a normal distribution, with o=0.20 gram. find an 80% confidence interval for the average weights of Allen's hummingbirds in the study region. What is the margin of error? (Round answer to two decimal places) lower limit=upper limit=arrow_forwardAllen's hummingbird has been studied by zoologist Bill Alther.
