consider Lennie and George just arrived at the ranch as new workers. Lennies says to George “ I don’t like this place, George. This ain’t no good place. I wanna get outta here.” Why does Lennie say this? The answer is not necessarily just what it looked like; It’s also about the feeling of the place as they get adjusted. What are their impressions of the people around them?

a) The odds that such a taxpayer will be audited is 4%.

b) The odds against such a taxpayer being audited is 96%.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

The probability of an IRS audit = 3.8% for U.S. taxpayers who file form 1040 and earned $100,000.

This is the same as the odds that such a taxpayer will be audited.  Odds is the likelihood or chance that an event will take place.

b) The probability of not being audited is 100 - 3.8% = 96.2%

The odd against being audited is the likelihood or chance that an event will not take place.
