II.
A survey of CPAs across the United States found that the average net income for sole-proprietor CPAs is $98,500. Because this survey is over two decades old, an accounting analyst wants to test this figure by taking a random sample of 112 sole-proprietor accountants in the United States to determine whether the net income figure has changed or not. It is assumed that the population standard deviation of net incomes for sole-proprietor CPAs is $14,530.
