Answer:
The system will be inconsistent.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a system of linear equations has a 3×5 augmented matrix whose fifth column is a pivot column.
Then such a system is not consistent because since the augmented matrix has a pivot in fifth column it means that the new column added to the matrix A will lead to increase in the rank as that of matrix A.
Hence the rank of A and Augment A will not remain same and hence the system will be inconsistent.
For margin of error to be a maximum of 3:
3 = z*(SD / sqrt(n)), where z is the z-score, SD is the standard deviation and n is the sample size.
z = 1.96 for a 95% confidence interval, and we are given SD = 15.
3 = 1.96*15/sqrt(n)
sqrt(n) = 9.8
n = 96.04 ~ 96 commercials.
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
3 times the sum of 4 and 2 = 3*(4+2)
= 3 * 6
= 18
18 - 9 = 9
