In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for loweringcholesterol, 43 subjects were treated with garlic in a processed tablet form. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (beforeafter) in their levels of LDL cholesterol(in mg/dL) have a mean of 4.7 and a standard deviation of 19.6. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment. What does the confidence interval suggest about the effectiveness of garlic in reducing LDLcholesterol?
