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:

\text{Odds of being Audited}=\frac{P(A)}{P(A')}

                                    =\frac{0.015}{0.985}\\\\=\frac{3}{197}\\\\=0.015228\\\\\approx 0.015

Thus, the odds that the taxpayer will be audited is approximately 0.015.

(B)

Compute the odds against these taxpayer being audited as follows:

\text{Odds against Audited}=\frac{P(A')}{P(A)}

                                    =\frac{0.985}{0.015}\\\\=\frac{3}{197}\\\\=65.666667\\\\\approx 65.67

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

What is 3x + 5 = 10.4
ratelena [41]

Answer:

x = 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

10.4 - 5 = 5.4 (subtract 5 from each side)

to isolate the variable, x, divide each side by 3

5.4/3 = 1.8

Answer:

8.4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- We consider the large right angle triangle namely, " XVW "

- We will recall all the trigonometric ratios that are applicable to all right angled triangles.

- While we are dealing with trigonometric ratios we have the following terms that needs to be correlated with the given specific problem:

            Hypotenuse ( H ): Side opposite to 90 degrees angle

            Base (B): The side adjacent to the available angle ( θ )

            Perpendicular (P): The side opposite to the available angle ( θ )

- We will go ahead and mark our respective sides as follows:

            Angle ( θ ) : 34°

            Hypotenuse ( H ) : XW = 15 in

            Base ( B ) : VW

            Perpendicular ( P ) : VX

- Now recall all the trigonometric ratios studied:

           sin ( θ ) = P / H = VX / XW

           cos ( θ ) = B / H = VW / XW

           tan ( θ ) = P / B = VX / VW

- Now choose the appropriate trigonometric ratio with two values given and one ( VX ) that needs to be determined as follows:

                             sin ( θ ) = P / H = VX / XW

                             sin ( 34° ) = VX / 15

                             VX = 15*sin ( 34° )

                             VX = 8.387 .. ( 8.4 ) in

Answer:

A non-equilateral rhombus.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this graphically.

We start with square:

ABCD

with:

A = (11, - 7)

B = (9, - 4)

C = (11, - 1)

D = (13, - 4)

Only with the vertices, we can see that ABCD is equilateral, as the length of each side is:

AB = √( (11 - 9)^2 + (-7 -(-4))^2) = √( (2)^2 + (3)^2) = √(4 + 9) = √13

BC =  √( (11 - 9)^2 + (-1 -(-4))^2) = √13

CD =  √( (11 - 13)^2 + (-1 -(-4))^2)  = √13

DA =  √( (11 - 13)^2 + (-7 -(-4))^2) = √13

And we change C by C' = (11, 1)

In the image you can see the 5 points and the figure that they make:

The figure ABCD is a rhombus, and ABC'D is also a rhombus, the only difference between the figures is that ABCD is equilateral while ABC'D is not equilateral.

A line with a slope -2 passes through the point (-1,4). Which equation represents this line in point-slope form?
sesenic [268]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y-4 = -2(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope equation of a line is ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

You have m = -2 and (h, k) = (-1, 4). Putting these numbers into the above form gives ...

  y -4 = -2(x +1)
