For the fiscal year 2007, a tax authority audited 1.87% of individual tax returns with income of $100,000 or more. Suppose this percentage stays the same for the current tax year. What is the probability that two randomly selected returns with income of $100,000 or more will be audited?
due to independence:
probability that two randomly selected returns with income of $100,000 or more will be audited
=P(first will be audited)*P(2nd will be audited) =0.0187*0.0187 =0.000350

According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the chances of your tax return being audited are about 6 in 1,000 if your income is less than $50,000; 10 in 1,000 if your income is between $50,000 and $99,999; and 49 in 1,000 if your income is $100,000 or more (Statistical Abstract of the United States: 1995). If two taxpayers with incomes under $50,000 are randomly selected and two with incomes more than $100,000 are randomly selected, what is the probability...
