The function f(t)=3t2. (a) what is the average rate of change of f(t) between t=1 and t=1.001? (b) what is the average rate of change of f(t) between t=2 and t=2.001? (c) what is the average rate of change of f(t) between t=3 and t=3.001? (d) what is the average rate of change of f(t) between t=4 and t=4.001?

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.
