The difference between manually filed return and the electronically filed return is \boxed{538650}. Option (b) is correct.

Further Explanation:

Explanation:

The total tax return is 2.7 million.

The errors on the tax return for electronic filling are 0.05\%.

The errors on the tax return for manual filling are 20\%.

Number of errors in filing tax return manually can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Errors in manual filling}} &= 2700000 \times 20\%\\ &= 2700000 \times \frac{{20}}{{100}} \\&= 540000\\\end{alignd}

Number of errors in filing tax return electronically can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Errors in electronically filling}} &= 2700000 \times 0.05\% \\&= 2700000 \times \frac{{0.05}}{{100}} \\&= 1350 \\\end{aligned}

The difference in the errors can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Difference}} &= 540000 - 1350 \\&= 538650 \\\end{aligned}

The difference between manually filed return and the electronically filed return is \boxed{538650}. Option (b) is correct.

Answer:

B) 538, 650

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Errors on tax returns filed manually  = 20%

Errors on tax returns filed electronically  = 0.05%

Tax return filled in each way = 2.7 million

Manual filing:

2,700,000 x 20% = 2,700,000*0.2 = 540,000

Electronic filing:

2,700,000 x 0.05% = 2, 700,000*0.0005 = 1,350


Error difference = 540,000 - 1,350 = 538,650

There will be 538,650 more erroneous tax returns filed manually than there are filed electronically.

Thank you.

If (x,y) is a solution to the system of equations shown below, what is the product of the y-coordinates of the solutions? x^2+4y
aliina [53]

Answer:

The product of the y-coordinates of the solutions is equal to 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x^{2}+4y^{2}=40 -----> equation A

x+2y=8 ------> equation B

Solve by graphing

Remember that the solutions of the system of equations are the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solutions are the points (2,3) and (6,1)

see the attached figure

The y-coordinates of the solutions are 3 and 1

therefore

The product of the y-coordinates of the solutions is equal to

(3)(1)=3

exercise alone. Two methods of collecting data have been proposed. Method I: Recruit volunteers who are willing to participate.
aniked [119]

Answer:

I) If method I is used, population of generalization will include all those people who may have varying exercising habits or routines.  They may or may not have a regular excersing habit.  In his case sample is taken from a more diverse population

II) Population of generalization will include people who will have similar excersing routines and habits if method II is used since sample is choosen from a specific population

Step-by-step explanation:

past excercising habits may affect the change in intensity to a targeted excersise in different manner. So in method I a greater diversity is included and result of excersing with or without a trainer will account for greater number of variables than method II.
