Question
Please answer a, b, c and d
Individuals filing federal income tax returns prior to March 31 received an average refund
of $1056. Consider the population of "last-minute" filers who mail their tax return during
the last five days of the income tax period (typically April 10 to April 15).
A researcher suggests that a reason individuals wait until the last five days is that on
average these individuals repeive lower refunds than do early filers. Develop appro-
priate hypotheses such that rejection of H, will support the researcher's contention.
For a sample of 400 individuals who filed a tax return between April 10 and 15, the
sample mean refund was $910. Based on prior experience a population standard devi-
