The monthly income of respondents follows a normal distribution. A random sample of 25 respondents is taken. The mean and standard deviation of the monthly income of the respondents in the sample are Rs 30,000 and Rs 5,000 respectively. Construct the confidence interval for the monthly income of the respondent at a 10% level of significance.

A firm allows its employees to pursue additional income earning activities such as consultancies, tuitions, etc. in their out of office hours. The average weekly earnings through these additional income earning activities is Rs. 5000 per month per employee. A new HR manager who has recently joined the firm feels that this amount may have changed. For verifying his doubt, he has taken a random sample of 45 employees and computed the average additional income of these 45 employees. The sample mean is computed as Rs. 5500 and the sample standard deviation is computed as Rs. 1000. Use α = 0.05 to test whether the additional average income has changed in the population. (6 marks)
