Questions and Answers

What is the main function of a determinant in relation to a matrix?

  • It identifies the most significant eigenvector of the matrix.
  • It represents the sum of all entries in the matrix.
  • It indicates the maximum eigenvalue of the matrix.
  • It provides a scalar value that informs whether the matrix is invertible. (correct)

    • Which statement correctly describes the role of eigenvalues in linear transformations?

  • They represent the range of outputs for a given input.
  • They determine the minimum value of a matrix.
  • They indicate how much the corresponding eigenvector is scaled during a transformation. (correct)
  • They provide the rotational influence of the transformation.

    • What is a key difference between discrete and continuous random variables?

  • Discrete random variables have unbounded outcomes, while continuous have countable outcomes.
  • Discrete random variables can be measured, while continuous variables can only be counted.
  • Discrete random variables can only assume values from specific intervals, unlike continuous variables.
  • Discrete random variables rely on finite sample spaces, whereas continuous variables operate on infinite ranges. (correct)
