Does this seem reasonable? Explain. Automobile Insurance Premiums. The average annual premium for automobile insurance in the United States is $1503.

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 = $1600 may be assumed. What is the p-value? c. At what is your conclusion?𝛼=.05 d. Repeat the preceding hypothesis test using the critical value approach. Price of Good Red Wine.
