Problem 10: Solve the following systems of linear equations by Gaussian elimination method

 Problem 10: Solve the following systems of linear equations by Gaussian elimination method:

\begin{align*} 2x-2y+3z=2\\ x+2y-z=3\\ 3x-y+2z=1 \end{align*}

Solution:

Consider the augmented matrix of this system and apply row operations.

\[\left[\begin{array}{c|c} A & B \end{array} \right] = \begin{align*} \left[\begin{array}{rrr|r} 2 & -2 & 3& 2 \\ 1 & 2& -1 & 3 \\ 3 & -1 & 2 & 1 \\ \end{array}\right] \xrightarrow{R_1\leftrightarrow R_2} \left[\begin{array}{rrr|r} 1 & 2& -1 & 3 \\ 2 & -2 & 3& 2 \\ 3 & -1 & 2 & 1 \\ \end{array}\right] \end{align*}\] \[\xrightarrow{R2\rightarrow R_2-2R_1,R3\rightarrow R_3-3R_1} \left[\begin{array}{rrr|r} 1 & 2& -1 & 3 \\ 0 & -6 & 5& -4 \\ 0 & -7 & 5 & -8 \\ \end{array}\right] \xrightarrow{R3\rightarrow R_3-R_2} \left[\begin{array}{rrr|r} 1 & 2& -1 & 3 \\ 0 & -6 & 5& -4 \\ 0 & -1 & 0 & -4 \\ \end{array}\right]\] \[\xrightarrow{R_3\rightarrow -R_3} \left[\begin{array}{rrr|r} 1 & 2& -1 & 3 \\ 0 & -6 & 5& -4 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 4 \\ \end{array}\right]\]

For Gaussian elimination we write down the equations corresponding to REF. Then we get

\begin{align*} x+2y+-z=3\\ -6y+5z=-4\\ y=4 \end{align*}

By solving we get

Solution set S is \begin{align*} y=4\\ z=4\\ x=-1 \end{align*}

Problem 98: If 6 of 18 new buildings in a city violate the building code, what is the probability that a building inspector, who randomly selects 4 of the new buildings for inspection, will catch a. none of the buildings that violate the building code? b. 1 of the new buildings that violate the building code? c. 2 of the new buildings that violate the building code? d. at least 3 of the new buildings that violate the building code? Solution: a. none of the buildings that violate the building code? Given that $x=0,n=4,a=6, N=18$ Hypergeometric distribution, $h(x;n,a,N)=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c}a\\ x\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}N-a\\ n-x\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c}N\\ n\end{array}\right)}$ $P(x=0) = h(0;4,6,18)=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c}6\\ 0\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}18-6\\ 4-0\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{c}18\\ 4\end{array}\right)} = 0.16176.$ b. 1 of the new buildings that violate the building code?

Problem 105: If a bank receives on the average α = 6 bad checks per day, what are the probabilities that it will receive (a) 4 bad checks on any given day?
(b) 10 bad checks over any 2 consecutive days?

Problem 105: If a bank receives on the average α = 6 bad checks per day, what are the probabilities that it will receive (a) 4 bad checks on any given day? (b) 10 bad checks over any 2 consecutive days? Solution: Poisson distribution, $f(x;\lambda )=\frac{{\lambda }^{x}{e}^{-\lambda }}{x!}$ a. 4 bad checks on any given day Given that $x=4, \lambda = \alphaT = 6\dot 1 = 6$ $f(4;6 )=\frac{{6 }^{4}{e}^{-6 }}{4!} = 0.134$ b. 10 bad checks over any 2 consecutive days Given that $x=10, \lambda = \alphaT = 6\dot 2 = 12$ $f(10;12 )=\frac{{12 }^{10}{e}^{-12 }}{10!} = 0.104837$

Problem 56: Let $S = \{x \in \R^3 : x = (r-2s,3r+s,s), r,s \in \R \}$. Establish that $S$ is a subspace of $\R^3$.

Problem 56: Let $S = \{x \in \R^3 : x = (r-2s,3r+s,s), r,s \in \R \}$. Establish that $S$ is a subspace of $\R^3$. Solution: $S = \{x \in \R^3 : x = (r-2s,3r+s,s), r,s \in \R \}$. S is certainly nonempty. Let $x, y \in S$. Then for some $r, s, u,v \in \R$, $x = (r-2s,3r+s,s)$ and $y = (u-2v,3u+v,v)$. Hence, $x + y = (r-2s,3r+s,s) + (u-2v,3u+v,v)$ $= (r-2s+u-2v,3r+s+3u+v,s+v) = ((r+u)-2(s+v),3(r+u)+(s+v),(s+v))$ $= (k-2l,3k+l,l)$, where $k = r + u, l=s+v$. Consequently, $S$ is closed under addition. Further, if $c \in \R$, then $cx = c(r-2s,3r+s,s) = (c(r-2s),c(3r+s),cs) $ $= (cr-2cs,3cr+cs,cs) = (a-2b,3a+b,b)$, where $a = cr,b=cs$. Therefore $S$ is also closed under scalar multiplication. It follows that $S$ is a subspace of $\R^3$.
