Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 5.5 and a standard deviation of 16.8. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. Click here to view a t distribution table. Click here to view page 1 of the standard normal distribution table. table lick a. What is the best point estimate of the population mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment? The best point estimate is 5.5 mg/dL (Type an integer or a decimal.) b. 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 LDL cholesterol? What is the confidence interval estimate of the population mean μ? mg/dLHmg/dL (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
