Answer:
The answer is 97
Step-by-step explanation:
According to PEMDAS, we will solve the multiplication first. 2 × 42 is 84. Next, we will add or subtract from left to right. 9 + 84 + 6 – 2 is 97, the answer to our problem.
Answer:
- not possible: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 11
- possible: all others
Step-by-step explanation:
Obviously, all multiples of 3 and 7 can be paid.
1 cent can be added by adding a 7-cent stamp and taking away two 3-cent stamps. 2 cents can be added by adding three 3-cent stamps and taking away one 7-cent stamp. Hence any value more than 7 +2(3) = 13 cents can always be accommodated.
Amounts that are impossible:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 11 cents
All other positive integer amounts are possible.
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:


Thus, the odds that the taxpayer will be audited is approximately 0.015.
(B)
Compute the odds against these taxpayer being audited as follows:


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