According to the IRS, individuals filing federal income tax returns prior to March 31 received an average refund of $1079 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. 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. Develop appropriate hypotheses such that rejection of H0 will support the researcher's contention.
: is greater than or equal to 1,079 : is less than 1,079

- The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was passed by the U.S. Congress on January 1, 2013. This act helped address what became famously known as the “fiscal cliff” crisis. However, during the last months of 2012, heated debates concerning the crisis were ongoing in Congress, and there was growing concern political gridlock was preventing a solution of the crisis by the end-of-year deadline. In mid-December, a USA Today– Gallup poll reported that only 18% of a sample of 1025 adult Americans approved of the job Congress was doing in working toward a solution to the looming fiscal cliff. Calculate a two-sided confidence interval using a 99% confidence level for the proportion of all U.S. adults who approved of the congressional handling of the crisis in December 2012.arrow_forwardIndividuals filing federal income tax returns prior to March 31 received an average refund of $1,053.
