The Internal Revenue Service reports that the mean federal income tax paid in the year 2010 was $8040. Assume that the standard deviation is $4900. The IRS plans to draw a sample of 1000 tax returns to study the effect of a new tax law. Do you think it would be unusual for an individual to pay a tax of less than $7800? Explain. Assume the variable is normally distributed. Round the answer to at least four decimal places.
