Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of columns of A is equal to the number of rows of B, so multiplication is possible. It works well to have a calculator do this for you. It involves 27 multiplications and 18 additions, tedious at best.

Each product term is the sum of products ...

p[row=i, column=j] = a[i, 1]b[1, j] +a[i, 2]b[2, j] +a[i, 3]b[3, j]

For example, the product term in the 3rd row, 2nd column is ...

p[3, 2] = a[3, 1]b[1, 2] +a[3, 2]b[2, 2] +a[3, 3]b[3, 2]

= (-4)(-5) +(-1)(3) +(-9)(4) = 20 -3 -36

p[3, 2] = -19

False. To make nine, you must multiply three by three. Four times three isn’t 8. An equivalent equation would be 4/3=12/9

The true statement is (c) Neither. Both events are equally likely.

<h3>Complete question</h3>

The probability of Sandy flipping a coin twice and getting heads both times is 0.25. The probability of John's spinner stopping on the color red is 1/4.

Which of these events is more likely?

-Sandy flips a coin twice and gets heads both times.

-John's spinner stops on the color red.

-Neither. Both events are equally likely.

<h3>How to determine the likely event?</h3>

The given parameters are:

P(Head twice) = 0.25

P(Red) = 1/4

Rewrite P(Red) as:

P(Red) = 0.25

By comparison, we have:

P(Red) = P(Head twice) = 0.25
