(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.

c. x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

$\frac{little}{big} =\frac{side mn}{side ab}=\frac{side on}{side cb}$ .

$\frac{0.96}{1.2}=\frac{x}{3}$

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

$0.96(3)=1.2(x)\\2.88=1.2x\\\frac{2.88}{1.2}=\frac{1.2x}{1.2} \\2.4=x$

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.

An electronics manufacturer wants to know if customers would be interested in a detachable keyboard for their tables and if so, what the most important features would be. the manufacturer partners with an electronics store to include copies of the survey with every purchase at that store for one week. which of the following best explains why this random sample is unlikely to be a good representative sample of tablet owners' preferences for a detachable keyboard? a) one week is likely not enough time to get a large enough sample. b) most people won't bother to send in the survey, which is likely to skew the results c) there is no way to verify whether the responders to the survey actually own a tablet d) the survey is biased because it was conducted through an electronics store, not the general population
