A case in riverhead, new york, nine different crime victims listened to voice recordings of five different men. all nine victims

identified the same voice as that of the criminal. if the voice identifications were made by random guesses, find the probability that all nine victims would select the same person. you should enter your answer as a decimal, not as a percent. do not round, as your answer should be a terminating decimal. hint: we are looking for the probability that nine victims randomly picked the same person from a line-up. let's take this question one victim at a time: the first victim doesn't need to pick suspect #1, they could pick any suspect, if they are picking randomly. so what is the probability that the first victim picks someone

the complete question in the attached figure

1) Find the probability that all nine victims would select the same person. You should enter your answer as a decimal, not as a percent. Do not round, as your answer should be a terminating decimal.

P=(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)=0.000000512

2) what is the probability that the first victim picks SOMEONE? ANYONE? 

P=(1/5)=0.20  ---------------- > 20%

3) Now let’s look at victim #2. What is the probability that they pick the same person as victim #1?

P=(1/5)*(1/5)=0.04 --------------> 4%

4) Now let’s look at victim #3. What is the probability that they pick the same person as victim #1?

P=(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)=0.008 --------------> 0.8%

5) Now let's look at victim #9. What is the probability that they pick the same person as victim #1? 

P=(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5)=0.000000512

6) Once you find all those probabilities, what rule would apply?

the probability is given by (1/5)^n

n=number of victims that pick the same person---------> in this problem = 9

P=(1/5)^9= 0.000000512

Answer:

X = \begin{bmatrix}1&3\\ 2&4\end{bmatrix}

Step-by-step explanation:

The question we have at hand is, in other words,

\begin{bmatrix}4&2\\ \:1&1\end{bmatrix}\left(X\right)=\begin{bmatrix}8&20\\ \:3&7\end{bmatrix} - where we have to solve for the value of X

If we have to isolate X here, then we would have to take the inverse of the following matrix ...

\begin{bmatrix}4&2\\ \:1&1\end{bmatrix} ... so that it should be as follows ... \begin{bmatrix}4&2\\ \:1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1}

Therefore, we can conclude that the equation as to solve for " X " will be the following,

X=\begin{bmatrix}4&2\\ 1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1}\begin{bmatrix}8&20\\ 3&7\end{bmatrix} - First find the 2 x 2 matrix inverse of the first portion,

\begin{bmatrix}4&2\\ 1&1\end{bmatrix}^{-1} = \frac{1}{\det \begin{pmatrix}4&2\\ 1&1\end{pmatrix}}\begin{pmatrix}1&-2\\ -1&4\end{pmatrix}= \frac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix}1&-2\\ -1&4\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}\frac{1}{2}&-1\\ -\frac{1}{2}&2\end{bmatrix}

At this point we have to multiply the rows of the first matrix by the rows of the second matrix,

X = \begin{bmatrix}\frac{1}{2}&-1\\ -\frac{1}{2}&2\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}8&20\\ 3&7\end{bmatrix} ,

X = \begin{pmatrix}\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:8+\left(-1\right)\cdot \:3&\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:20+\left(-1\right)\cdot \:7\\ \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)\cdot \:8+2\cdot \:3&\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)\cdot \:20+2\cdot \:7\end{pmatrix} - Simplifying this, we should get ...

\begin{bmatrix}1&3\\ 2&4\end{bmatrix} ... which is our solution.
