[Solution] Captopril is a drug designed to lower systolic blood pressure. When subjects were tested with this drugs their systolic blood pressure readings


Question: Captopril is a drug designed to lower systolic blood pressure. When subjects were tested with this drugs their systolic blood pressure readings (in mm of mercury) were measured before and after the drug was taken, with the results given in the table below:

Before After
200 191
174 170
198 177
170 167
179 159
182 151
193 176
209 183
185 159
155 145
169 146
210 177
  1. Use the sample data to construct a \(99 \%\) confidence interval for the mean difference between the before and after readings.
  2. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that Captopril is effective in lowering systolic blood pressure? (Assume a 0.01 significance level).
