Then we compute the mean of this resample and obtain the first bootstrap mean: Î¼ 1 *. We repeat this process to obtain the second resample X 2 * and compute the second bootstrap mean Î¼ 2 *. If we repeat this 100 times, then we have Î¼ 1 *, Î¼ 2 *, â¦, Î¼ 100 *. This represents an empirical bootstrap distribution of sample mean. From this empirical distribution, one can derive a bootstrap confidence interval for the purpose of hypothesis testing.
California allows a deduction for medical expenses for the spouse of a same-sex marriage and their spouse's dependents as an itemized deduction that exceeds 7.5% of Federal AGI. Refer to Federal Publication 502, Medical and Dental Expenses, for additional limits on deductible long-term care premiums.
Everyone who fills out a Form 1040, whether they itemize or not, can claim above-the-line deductions.

In 2007, the standard deductions were. 1  Single, or married filing separately: $5,350. 2  Married filing jointly, or eligible widow: $10,700. 3  Head of household: $7,850.
