A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug used for treating insomnia in older subjects. After treatment with the drug, 14 subjects had a mean wake time of 97.7 min and a standard deviation of 44.8 min. Assume that 14 sample 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 wheth the treatment is effective? Find the confidence interval estimate. min< a
