A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug used for treating insomnia in older subjects. After treatment with thedrug, 17 subjects had a mean wake time of 92.6

min and a standard deviation of 42.5 min. Assume that the 17sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population and construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of the wake times for a population with the drug treatments. Does the result indicate whether the treatment iseffective?

Find the confidence interval estimate.
