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.

sp2606 [1]

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.

The first three terms in the binomial expansion of (a+b)^n in ascending powers of b, are p,q and r respectively. show that q^2/p

katen-ka-za [31]

First 3 terms are a^2 + n a^(n-)1 b + n(n-1)/2 * a^(n-2) b^2

So q^2 / pr = (n^2 * a^(2n-2) * b^2 ) / (1/2 * a^n * (n(n-1) * a^(n-2) * b^2 )

= n^2 * a^2n-2 * b^2

-----------------------------------

1/2 n(n-1) * a^(2n-2) * b^2

= 2n / n - 1 as required

given p = 4, q=32 and r = 96:-

32^2 / 4*96 = 2n / n-1

2n / n-1 = 8/3

6n = 8n - 8

2n = 8

n = 4 answer

Over the last 40 years, the percent decrease in egg consumption in the U.S. is 35%. Forty years ago, the average consumption was

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

260 eggs per person per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that over the last 40 years, the percent decrease in egg consumption in the U.S. is 35%. Forty years ago, the average consumption was 400 eggs per person per year.

To find the average consumption of eggs today, we will find 65% (100%-35%) of 400.

$\text{The average consumption of eggs today}=\frac{65}{100}\times 400$

$\text{The average consumption of eggs today}=65\times 4$

$\text{The average consumption of eggs today}=260$

Therefore, the average consumption of eggs today is 260 eggs per person per year.
