The U.S. Internal Revenue Service estimates that the average taxpayer takes approximately six hours to complete Form 1040. A study was conducted to examine the amount of time it takes to complete this dreaded form, by income level. Independent random samples of federal filers in two income ranges were obtained, and the length of time (in hours) to complete Form 1040 was recorded for each. The summary statistics are given in the following table.
