According to the article "Fatigue Testing of Condoms" (Polymer Testing, 2009: 567-571), "tests currently used for condoms are surrogates for the challenges they face in use," including a test for holes, an inflation test, a package seal test, and tests of dimensions and lubricant quality (all fertile territory for the use of statistical methodology!). The investigators developed a new test that adds cyclic strain to a level well below breakage and determines the number of cycles to break. A sample of 20 condoms of one particular type resulted in a sample mean number of 1584 and a sample standard deviation of 607. Calculate and interpret a confidence interval at the 99% confidence level for the true average number of cycles to break.
