- The Springfield Daily Gazette has reported that the average salary for City of Springfield employees is $81,500. The Gazette is claiming that city employees’ salaries are too high, and many of the citizens (who pay the taxes to support the city) are upset. The city council has called a special meeting to discuss whether employee salaries should be cut by 10–15%. You have collected data on employee incomes for the city, as shown below. In a paragraph of at least five or six sentences, explain what the measures of central tendency and standard deviation tell about the income of city employees.

- 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.
