We can let
a = 1/(x-1)
b = 1/(y+2)
and rewrite the equations as
2a - b = 10
a + 3b = -9
Using the first to write an expression for b, we get
b = 2a - 10
Substituting this into the second equation gives
a + 3(2a -10) = -9
7a -30 = -9 . . . . . . . . simplify
7a = 21 . . . . . . . . . . .add 30
a = 3
b = 2·3 - 10 = -4
Now, we can find x and y.
3 = 1/(x -1)
x - 1 = 1/3
x = 1 1/3 = 4/3
-4 = 1/(y +2)
y +2 = -1/4
y = -2 1/4 = -9/4
Then the desired sum is
x + y = 4/3 -9/4 = (16 -27)/12
x + y = -11/12
The appropriate choice is ..
c. -11/12
Answer:
b = 43
Since 43 is congruent to b
Part A:
A component is one voter's vote. An outcome is a vote in favour of our candidate.
Since there are 100 voters, we can stimulate the component by using two randon digits from 00 - 99, where the digits 00 - 54 represents a vote for our candidate and the digits 55 - 99 represents a vote for the underdog.
Part B:
A trial is 100 votes. We can stimulate the trial by randomly picking 100 two-digits numbers from 00 - 99. Whoever gets the majority of the votes wins the trial.
Part C:
The response variable is whether the underdog wants to win or not. To calculate the experimental probability, divide the number of trials in which the simulated underdog wins by the total number of trials.
