Can you please help me. I am stuck stuck on the last two questions
Suppose you are a researcher in a hospital. You are experimenting with a new tranquilizer. You collect data
from a random sample of 11 patients. The period of effectiveness of the tranquilizer for each patient (in
hours) is as follows:
Hours
2.4
2.1
2.7
2.4
2.6
2.5
2
2.1
2.7
What is a point estimate for the population mean length of time. (Round answer to 2 decimal places)
2.41
What must be true in order to construct a confidence interval in this situation?
The population must be approximately normal
Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean length of time. (Round the critical value to 3
decimal places. Round upper and lower bounds to 2 decimal places.)
