To solve a proportion, you can either use cross products or basic multiplication.

To do cross products, you would multiply 17 (1st numerator) by 6 (2nd denominator). 

Do the same with the other diagonal angle, 3 times y.

You'll end up with 3y = 102.

To solve for y, you divide both sides by 3.

102 ÷ 3 = 34

y = 34

The other way you could solve this is to see that 6 is 2 times as large as 3, so you would multiply 17 by 2 to get an equal proportion.

3 × 2 = 6
17 × 2 = 34

Your final answer is y = 34. Hope this helps! :)

Suppose the probability of an irs audit is 2.8 percent for U.S. taxpayers who file form 1040 and who earn 100,000 or more. What
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

So, the odds that a taxpayer would be audited 28 to 972 or 2.88%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let P(A) = Probability of irs auditing

P(A) = 2.8%

Let n = number of those who earn above 100,000

To get the odds that taxpayer would be audited, we need to first calculated the proportion of those that will be audited and those that won't.

If the probability is 2.8% then 2.8 out of 100 will be audited. That doesn't make a lot of sense since you can't have 2.8 people; we multiply the by 10/10

i.e.

Proportion, P = 2.8/100 * 10/10

P = 28/1000

The proportion of those that would not be audited is calculated as follows;

Q = 1000 - P

By substituton

Q = 1000 - 28

Q = 972

So, the odds that a taxpayer would be audited 28 to 972 or P/Q

P/Q = 28/972

= 0.0288065844

= 2.88% --- Approximately
