Consider the pharmaceutical company that desires an estimate of the mean increase in blood pressure of patients who take a new drug. The blood pressure increases (points) for the n = 6 patients in the human testing phase are shown in Table 6.4. Use this information to construct a 95% confidence interval for μ, the mean increase in blood pressure associated with the new drug for all patients in the population.
