Question
Two kinds of thread are being compared for strength. Fifty pieces of each type of thread are tested under similar conditions. Brand A had an average: tensile strength of 78.3 kilograms with a standard deviation of 5.6 kilograms, while brand B had an average tensile strength of 87.2 kilograms with a standard deviation of 6.3 kilograms. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference of the population means.
