Two kinds of column are being compared for strength. Sixteen pieces of column A and twelve  pieces of column B are tested under similar conditions. Brand A has an average tensile strength of 80 kilograms with a standard deviation of 6 kilograms, while brand B has an average tensile strength of 70 kilograms with a standard deviation of 5 kilograms. Find a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the population means, assuming that the populations are approximately normally distributed with equal variances.

Two kinds of column are being compared for strength. Sixteen pieces of column A and twelve 
pieces of column B are tested under similar conditions. Brand A has an average tensile strength of
80 kilograms with a standard deviation of 6 kilograms, while brand B has an average tensile strength
of 70 kilograms with a standard deviation of 5 kilograms. Find a 99% confidence interval for the
difference between the population means, assuming that the populations are approximately
normally distributed with equal variances.

3) Two kinds of column are being compared for strength. Sixteen pieces of column A and twelve
