A new drug is introduced that is supposed to reduce fevers. Tests
are done with the drug. The drug is given to 55 people who have
fevers. It is found that the mean time that it takes for the fever to
get back to normal for this test group is 380 minutes with a
standard deviation of 85 minutes. Find the 90% confidence
interval for the mean time that the drug will take to reduce all
fevers for all people.
Answer the following questions:
1. Multiple choice: Which equation would you use to solve this
problem?
