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 that none of these taxpayers will be audited by the IRS?

IRS audits The Internal Revenue Service plans to examine an SRS of individual federal income tax returns. The parameter of interest is the proportion of all returns claiming itemized deductions. Which would be better for estimating this parameter: an SRS of 20,000 returns or an SRS of 2000 returns? Justify your answer.
