According to the IRS, individuals filing federal income tax returns prior to March 31 received an average refund of $1056 in 2018. 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 receive lower refunds than do early filers. 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 deviation of  σ = $1,600 may be assumed. Test the researcher's assertion using the critical value approach. Use α = 0.05 (Please include all the 7 steps in hypothesis testing) Steps in hypothesis testing p-value Approach Develop the null and alternative hypothesis Specify the level of significance, α Choose the test statistic (z or t) Calculate the test statistic Use the value of the…
A 2017 survey of over 5,000 college graduates found that the average graduated from a four-year college or university had an average student loan debt of $28,650 (s.d. = $3,280).    To qualify for an experimental loan repayment program for a lower interest rate, borrowers have to be within the 65th to 80th percentiles of debt.  Janelle has a total educational debt of $31,438.  Would she qualify for this program?  Be sure to use evidence in your answer.
