A crayon manufacturer is comparing the effects of two kinds of yellow dye on the brittleness of crayons. Dye B is more expensive than dye A, but it is thought that it might produce a stronger crayon. Four crayons are tested with each kind of dye, and the impact strength (in joules) is measured for each. The results are as follows:

a. Can you conclude that the mean strength of crayons made with dye B is greater than that of crayons made with dye A?
b. Can you conclude that the mean strength of crayons made with dye B exceeds that of crayons made with dye A by more than 1 J?
