A researcher surveys middle-school students on their study habits. She finds that in a random sample of 28 middle-school students, the mean amount of time that they spend working on the computer each night is 2.4 hours with a standard deviation of 0.92 hours. She uses the sample statistics to compute a 95% confidence interval for the population mean - the the mean amount of time that all middle-school students spend working on the computer each night. What is the...

All of them reported hearing auditory hallucinations and nothing else - they all were admitted and diagnosed with mental illnesses. Once admitted they reported no further symptoms and told staff they felt fine and no longer experienced auditory hallucinations...
