- According to the IRS, individuals filing federal income tax returns prior to March 31 received an average refund of $1056 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 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. 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 deviation of σ = $1,600 may be assumed. Test the researcher's assertion using the critical value approach.

Royal bank is in the process of reviewing its saving accounts policy. It has extracted from its client database the savings data of a sample of 205 clients in the LSM5 - 7 categories, which make up the bulk of the bank's clientele. For each client, the gender (1 = female, 2 = male); marital status (1 = married, 2 = single, 3 = separated, 4 divorced, 5 = widowed); age (actual age in years) and the Average middle-of-the-month savings balance for 2018 (in Rands) were also extracted. The management of the bank suspects that gender, marital status and age have significant effects on the amount saved by clients. Table 3.1, below, shows only the first 10 records from the sample data of 205 clients. Note: LSM, Living Standard Measure, is a measure that defines the socio-economic status of a client. LSM1 is the lowest socio-economic status; while LSM10 is the highest. Table 5.1 Sample data - Client Savings (only the first 10…arrow_forward4. Failure to meet payments on student loans guaranteed by the United States (U.S.) government has been a major problem for both banks and the government. Approximately 50% of all student loans guaranteed by the government are in default. A random sample of 350 loans to college students in one region of the U.S. indicates that 147 loans are in default. Do the data indicate that the proportion of student loans in default in this area of the country differs from the proportion of all student loans in the U.S. that are in default? Use α = 0.01.

The Computer Security Institute (CSI) conducts an annual survey of computer crime at U.S. businesses. CSI sends survey questionnaires to computer security personnel at all U.S. corporations and government agencies. The 2010 CSI survey was sent and 351 organizations responded. One of the survey questions asked respondents to indicate the percentage of monetary losses attributable to malicious actions by individuals within the organization (i.e., malicious insider actions). The following table summarizes the data for the 144 firms who experienced some monetary loss due to malicious insider actions.
