Concept explainers

Contingency Table

A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.

Binomial Distribution

Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

Individuals filing federal income tax returns prior to March 31 received an average refund of $1,051. 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. H0: μ > $1,051, Ha: μ ≤ $1,051 H0: μ = $1,051, Ha: μ ≠ $1,051 H0: μ ≥ $1,051, Ha: μ < $1,051 H0: μ ≤ $1,051, Ha: μ > $1,051 H0: μ < $1,051, Ha: μ ≥ $1,051 (b)For a sample of 400 individuals who filed a tax return between April 10 and 15, the sample mean refund was $910.

You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. Sparr Investments, Inc., specializes in tax-deferred investment opportunities for its clients. Recently Sparr offered a payroll deduction investment program for the employees of a particular company. Sparr estimates that the employees are currently averaging $100 or less per month in tax-deferred investments. A sample of 39 employees will be used to test Sparr's hypothesis about the current level of investment activity among the population of employees. Assume the employee monthly tax-deferred investment amounts have a population standard deviation of $75 and that a 0.05 level of significance will be used in the hypothesis test. (a) What is the type II error in this situation? O Reject Sparr Investments' claim that the employees are currently averaging $100 or less per month in tax-deferred investments when it is true. O Reject Sparr Investments' claim that the employees are currently averaging…
