Answer:
The reduced row-echelon form of the linear system is ![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-5&0\\0&1&3&0\\0&0&0&1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D1%260%26-5%260%5C%5C0%261%263%260%5C%5C0%260%260%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Step-by-step explanation:
We will solve the original system of linear equations by performing a sequence of the following elementary row operations on the augmented matrix:
- Interchange two rows
- Multiply one row by a nonzero number
- Add a multiple of one row to a different row
To find the reduced row-echelon form of this augmented matrix
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}2&3&-1&14\\1&2&1&4\\5&9&2&7\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D2%263%26-1%2614%5C%5C1%262%261%264%5C%5C5%269%262%267%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
You need to follow these steps:
- Divide row 1 by 2

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.
Z= -7
So your answer is number 2, -7
