Data given below are on the adjusted gross income and the amount of itemized deductions taken by taxpayers. Data were reported in thousands of dollars. With the estimated regression equation y=4.68+0.16x , the point estimate of a reasonable level of total itemized deductions for a taxpayer with an adjusted gross income of 52,500 is 13,080. Click on the datafile to reference the data.

Use the estimated regression coefficients rounded to 2 decimals in your calculations. Round all intermediate calculations to 2 decimal
а. Develop a 95 confidence interval for the mean amount of total itemized deductions for all taxpayers with an adjusted gross income of 52,500 (to 2 decimals).
$ thousand to $ thousand
b. Develop a 95 prediction
$ thousand to $ thousand
d. Use your answer to part (b) to give the IRS agent a guideline as to the amount of total itemized deductions a taxpayer with an adjusted gross income of 52,500 should claim before an audit is recommended (to the nearest whole number).
Any deductions exceeding the $ upper limit could suggest an audit.
