For the fiscal year​ 2007, a tax authority audited 1.91​% 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?

Answer:

The probability of auditing two individual tax return worth $100,000 or more is 0.00036481

The probability of auditing an individual tax return which is $100,000 or more = 1.91% = 0.0191

Therefore, the probability of auditing any tax return with $100,000 or more will be 0.0191

Thus, the probability of auditing two tax returns with $100,000 or more will be :

First event = 0.0191

Second event = 0.0191

So, the resulting probability is (0.0191 × 0.0191) = 0.00036481

Therefore, the probability of auditing individual tax returns of $100,000 or more is 0.00036481
