9. Strength
of
concrete: The
compressive strength, in kilopascals,
was measured for concrete blocks
from five different batches of
concrete, both three and six days
after pouring. The data are
follows:
After 6 days
After 3 days

1358
1327
a. Construct a 95% confidence
interval for the difference
between the mean strengths of
blocks cured three days and
blocks cured six days.
b. A
civil
engineer
claims that the mean
strength of blocks cured three
days is the same as that of
blocks cured six days. Does the
confidence interval contradict
this claim?
