Answer:
B. y = 2x - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
All of the answer choices has a slope of 2, but B is the only answer choice that has (4,-1) on its line.
You can tell by plugging the point into the equation and seeing if the result is true.
y = 2x - 9
-1 = 2(4) - 9
-1 = 8 - 9
-1 = -1
Assuming annual compounding, then:
FV=15000*(1+.035)^15
FV=15000*1.6753488307521611831782355996538
FV=$25130.23
At the end of 15 years, Tom should have $25130.23 in his account.
There's more than one way to do this problem.
Try this: Mult. both 109 and 5 by 2, obtaining 218 and 10.
What is 218 div. by 10? Do this in your head.
Answer:
(A) The odds that the taxpayer will be audited is approximately 0.015.
(B) The odds against these taxpayer being audited is approximately 65.67.
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is:
Suppose the probability of an IRS audit is 1.5 percent for U.S. taxpayers who file form 1040 and who earned $100,000 or more.
A. What are the odds that the taxpayer will be audited?
B. What are the odds against such tax payer being audited?
Solution:
The proportion of U.S. taxpayers who were audited is:
P (A) = 0.015
Then the proportion of U.S. taxpayers who were not audited will be:
P (A') = 1 - P (A)
= 1 - 0.015
= 0.985
(A)
Compute the odds that the taxpayer will be audited as follows:


Thus, the odds that the taxpayer will be audited is approximately 0.015.
(B)
Compute the odds against these taxpayer being audited as follows:


Thus, the odds against these taxpayer being audited is approximately 65.67.
