Isabella is cooking a meal for 14 friends. Each person gets

1) Our marbles will be blue, red, and green. You need two fractions that can be multiplied together to make 1/6. There are two sets of numbers that can be multiplied to make 6: 1 and 6, and 2 and 3. If you give the marbles a 1/1 chance of being picked, then there's no way that a 1/6 chance can be present So we need to use a 1/3 and a 1/2 chance. 2 isn't a factor of 6, but 3 is. So we need the 1/3 chance to become apparent first. Therefore, 3 of the marbles will need to be one colour, to make a 1/3 chance of picking them out of the 9. So let's say 3 of the marbles are green. So now you have 8 marbles left, and you need a 1/2 chance of picking another colour. 8/2 = 4, so 4 of the marbles must be another colour, to make a 1/2 chance of picking them. So let's say 4 of the marbles are blue. We know 3 are green and 4 are blue, 3 + 4 is 7, so the last 2 must be red.
The problem could look like this:

A bag contains 4 blue marbles, 2 red marbles, and 3 green marbles. What are the chances she will pick 1 blue and 1 green marble?

You should note that picking the blue first, then the green, will make no difference to the overall probability, it's still 1/6. Don't worry, I checked

2) a - 2% as a probability is 2/100, or 1/50. The chance of two pudding cups, as the two aren't related, both being defective in the same packet are therefore 1/50 * 1/50, or 1/2500.

b - 1,000,000/2500 = 400
400 packages are defective each year

Consider the transpose of Your matrix A, that is, the matrix whose first column is the first row of A, the second column is the

Zarrin [17]

Answer:The system could have no solution or n number of solution where n is the number of unknown in the n linear equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if solution exist or not, you test the equation for consistency.

A system is said to be consistent if the rank of a matrix (say B ) is equal to the rank of the matrix formed by adding the constant terms(in this case the zeros) as a third column to the matrix B.

Consider the following scenarios:

(1) For example:Given the matrix A= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2\\3&4\end{array}\right]$ , to transpose A, exchange rows with columns i.e take first column as first row and second column as second row as follows:

Let A transpose be B.

∵B= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3\\2&4\end{array}\right]$

the system Bx=0 can be represented in matrix form as:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3\\2&4\end{array}\right]$ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x_{1} \\x_{2} \end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\0\end{array}\right]$ ................................eq(1)

Now, to determine the rank of B, we work the determinant of the maximum sub-square matrix of B. In this case, B is a 2 x 2 matrix, therefore, the maximum sub-square matrix of B is itself B. Hence,

|B|=(1*4)-(3*2)= 4-6 = -2 i.e, B is a non-singular matrix with rank of order (-2).

Again, adding the constant terms of equation 1(in this case zeros) as a third column to B, we have $B_{0}$ :

$B_{0}$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3&0\\4&2&0\end{array}\right]$ . The rank of $B_{0}$ can be found by using the second column and third column pair as follows:

| $B_{0}$ |=(3*0)-(0*2)=0 i.e, $B_{0}$ is a singular matrix with rank of order 1.

Note: a matrix is singular if its determinant is = 0 and non-singular if it is $\neq$ 0.

Comparing the rank of both B and $B_{0}$ , it is obvious that

Rank of B $\neq$ Rank of $B_{0}$ since (-2)<1.

Therefore, we can conclude that equation(1) is inconsistent and thus has no solution.

(2) If B= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5\\-8&10&\end{array}\right]$ is the transpose of matrix A= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&-8\\5&10\end{array}\right]$ , then

Then the equation Bx=0 is represented as:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5\\-8&10&\end{array}\right]$ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x_{1} \\x_{2} \end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\0\end{array}\right]$ ..................................eq(2)

|B|= (-4*10)-(5*(-8))= -40+40 = 0 i.e B has a rank of order 1.

$B_{0}$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5&0\\-8&10&0\end{array}\right]$ ,

| $B_{0}$ |=(5*0)-(0*10)=0-0=0 i.e $B_{0}$ has a rank of order 1.

we can therefor conclude that since

rank B=rank $B_{0}$ =1, equation(2) is consistent and has 2 solutions for the 2 unknown ( $X_{1}$ and $X_{2}$ ).

Summary:

Given an equation Bx=0, transform the set of linear equations into matrix form as shown in equations(1 and 2).
Determine the rank of both the coefficients matrix B and $B_{0}$ which is formed by adding a column with the constant elements of the equation to the coefficient matrix.
If the rank of both matrix is same, then the equation is consistent and there exists n number of solutions(n is based on the number of unknown) but if they are not equal, then the equation is not consistent and there is no number of solution.
