10. An engineering study was undertaken to determine the optimum thickness of aluminum to be used to construct cans to be used for cat food. Cans made of aluminum of thickness 2.10 mm and 1.90 mm were tested to determine the maximum load each would sustain before collapsing. The sample data is summarized below. Use a = 0.05 to test the claim that the thicker cans are stronger (will withstand a higher load).
