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

I really need help with this problem steps
melamori03 [73]
Solve for y by setting one equation =to X after that you can substitute the equation into the other one let's set the first one in X= FORM
X-7y=10
-2x+14y=-20

Add 7y to both sides of the first equation to let x stand alone
X=7y+10
Now you can substitute x on the second equation
-2 (7y+10)+14y=-20
Distribute
-14y-20+14y=-20
Add and simplify
Us cancel out =0
-20=-20
0=0
They are the same equations you can also divide the second equation by -2 which would make it look like this
X-7y=10
-2 (x-7y=10)
