a. according to the irs individuals filling federal income tax returns pror to march 31 received an average refund of $1,078 in 2018. consider the population of last- minutes files who mail their tax return during the last five days of income tax period (typically april 10 to april 15)

b.for a sample of 400 individuals who filed a tax return between april 10 and 15 the sample mean fefund was $920 based on prior experience a population standard devition 1,800 what is p-value?

c.using a= 0.05 can you conclude that population mean refund for last minutes filiters is less than the population mean refund for early filers?

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
