An individual who files a local income tax return has a probability of the return being audited. If 12,000 tax returns are received by the city, which of the following is the best prediction of the number of income tax returns that were audited?
A.3,000
B.2,000
C.3,500
D.2,500

Answer 1

The best prediction of the number of income tax returns that were audited is B. 2,000. This is because the probability of a tax return being audited is typically low, so it is unlikely that the city would have audited a high percentage of the 12,000 tax returns.
