For a positive integer N , N, let x N x_N and y N y_N be 2 numbers randomly chosen from the uniform distribution [ 1 0 N , 1 0 N ] . \big[-10^N, 10^N\big]. Denote x N x_N ' and y N y_N ' as the values of x N x_N and y N y_N rounded to the nearest 5 th 5^\text{th} decimal places, respectively.

Find the probability that the equality below does not hold true: lim N ( x N + y N ) = lim N ( x N + y N ) . \lim_{N\to\infty} (x_N ' + y_N ') = \lim_{N\to\infty} (x_N + y_N). If this probability can be expressed as a b , \frac ab, where a a and b b are coprime positive integers, what is the value of a + b ? a+b?


The answer is 200001.
