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 Ho will support the researcher's contention. Но: p is - Select your answer - Ha: :µ is - Select your answer - b. 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 eviation of o = $1,600 may be assumed.

A conservative investor would like to invest some money in a bond fund. The investor is concerned about the safety of her principal (the original money invested). Colonial Funds claims to have a bond fund which has maintained a consistent share price of $7. They claim that this share price has not varied by more than $0.25 on average since its inception. To test this claim, the investor randomly selects 25 days during the last year and determines the share price for the bond fund. The average share price of the sample is $7 with a standard deviation of $0.35. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the share price of the bond fund. Round your answer to four decimal places.
