    Question in Bill's workspace by Bill Foster

    Determine if the following describes a probability mass function.

    $P(X=x) = \frac{ax+b}{c},\;\;x \in S=\{n_1,\;n_2,\;n_3,\;n_4\}\subset \mathbb{R}$.

  • Solve for $x$ and $y$:  \[ \begin{eqnarray} a_1x+b_1y&=&c_1\\   a_2x+b_2y&=&c_2 \end{eqnarray} \]

    The included video describes a more direct method of solving when, for example, one of the equations gives a variable directly in terms of the other variable.
