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>

spin [16.1K]
She's 230 feet from the shore and she starts swimming towards shore at 2ft/s and covers 20 ft then Maxx starts out at 5ft/s at this point 10 seconds will have elapsed ( remember to add this on).They have now to cover 210 ft between them so the ratio will be5:2 making 210 divide by 7 = 30secs. So max will cover 150 ft and belle will cover 60 ft. So in summation for Belle to cover 60ft it would take her 30 secs plus the first 10 secs total 40 secs

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Kahlil wants it to be more than 10 seconds long, and his friend wants it 5 seconds longer than that. So it has to be at least 10 + 5 seconds long or 15 seconds. B is the only option with >15, and all the possible track lengths below satisfy the inequality.

An IV infiltrates with 330 mL remaining in the bag. It was restarted at 1015 at a rate of 30 mL/hr. What is the IV completion ti
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

11 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

I came up with this answer by dividing the IV infiltrate in the bag by the rate. This gave the completion time.

Volume of IV infiltrate = 330ML

Rate at which it was running = 30 ML/hour

The IV completion time = volume/rate

= 330 ML/30 ML

= 11 hours

Therefore the IV completion time is 11 hours.
