The article “Fatigue Testing of Condoms” cited in Exercise 7.32 reported that for a sample of 20 natural latex condoms of a certain type, the sample mean and sample standard deviation of the number of cycles to break were 4358 and 2218, respectively, whereas a sample of 20 polyisoprene condoms gave a sample mean and sample standard deviation of 5805 and 3990, respectively. Is there strong evidence for concluding that true average number of cycles to break for the polyisoprene condom exceeds that for the natural latex condom by more than 1000 cycles? Carry out a test using a significance level of .01. [Note: The cited paper reported P-values of t tests for comparing means of the various types considered.]
