Example 7.11 gave data on the modulus of elasticity obtained 1 minute after loading in a certain configuration. The cited article also gave the values of modulus of elasticity obtained 4 weeks after loading for the same lumber specimens. The data is presented here.

Calculate and interpret an upper confidence bound for the true average difference between 1-minute modulus and 4-week modulus; first check the plausibility of any necessary assumptions.
