According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the chances of your tax return being audited are about 6 in 1,000 if your incom

e is less than $50,000; 10 in 1,000 if your income is between $50,000 and $99,999; and 49 in 1,000 if your income is $100,000 or more (Statistical Abstract of the United States: 1995). If two taxpayers with incomes under $50,000 are randomly selected and two with incomes more than $100,000 are randomly selected, what is the probability that none of these taxpayers will be audited by the IRS?

Answer:

The probability that none of these taxpayers will be audited by the IRS is 0.8996 or 89.36%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to given:

Probability of being audited for income less than $50,000 = 6/1000 = 0.006

Therefore,

Probability of not being audited for income less than $50,000 = 1 - 0.006 = 0.994

Similary,

Probability of being audited for income more than $100,000 = 49/1000 = 0.049

Therefore,

Probability of not being audited for income more than $100,000 = 1 - 0.049 = 0.951

Now, for the probability of 2 persons with less $50,000 income and 2 persons with more than $100,000 income, to not being audited, we must multiply the probabilities of not being audited of each of the 4 persons.

Therefore,

Probability that none of them is audited = (0.994)(0.994)(0.951)(0.951)

<u>Probability that none of them is audited = 0.8936 = 89.36%</u>

Ratling [72]
<span>Susanne is 16 years old.</span>

b = Bob's age

s = Susanne's age

d = Dakota's age

Bob's age is 4 times greater than Susanne's age:

b = 4s

Dakota is three years younger than Susanne:

d = s - 3

The sum of Bob's, Susanne's, and Dakota's ages is 93:

b + s + d = 93


 solve these equations:

b = 4s

d = s - 3

b + s + d = 93


and get:

b = 64 years

s = 16 years

(remember that s = Susanne)

d = 13 years
