Answer to Question 1

A
For continuous interval dependent variables, multiple linear regression would be used.

Answer to Question 2

This is a univariate hypothesis dealing with one variable: income. Univariate hypotheses are typified by tests comparing some observed sample mean against a benchmark value. The test addresses the question, is the sample mean truly different from the benchmark? The level of scale measurement is ratio scaled, and if the sample size is large, parametric statistical procedures are appropriate. In this case, a univariate t-test is appropriate for testing this hypothesis because in involves an observed mean income against the value of 50,000.
