Let pp be a prime number greater than 3. Prove that

∑k=1p−1kp−1≡−1(modp2)k=1∑p−1kp−1≡−1(modp2)

k=1∑p−1kp−1≡−1(modp2),so the remainder is p2−1.

Consider the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0ax2+bx+c=0, where aa, bb, and cc are nonzero real numbers. Suppose the roots of the equation are αα and ββ, both complex numbers, and satisfy the following system of equations:

{α+β=−ba=4,αβ=ca=5,∣α∣=∣β∣,and α3+β3=28.⎩⎨⎧α+β=−ab=4,αβ=ac=5,∣α∣=∣β∣,and α3+β3=28.

What is the difference between theoretical probability and experimental probability?


Theoretical = probability predicted by a model (no trials). Experimental = observed frequency from actual trials/experiments

A die is rolled 100 times and lands on “4” exactly 9 times. Compare the experimental probability to the theoretical probability.

Experimental = 9/100=9%9/100 = 9\%9/100=9%. Theoretical = 1/6≈16.67%1/6 \approx 16.67\%1/6≈16.67%. Experimental is lower than theoretical here
