Question 1 |
Let M^{4}=I, (where I denotes the identity matrix) and M \neq I, M^{2} \neq I and M^{3} \neq I. Then, for any natural number k,M^{-1} equals
M^{4k+1} | |
M^{4k+2} | |
M^{4k+3} | |
M^{4k} |
Question 1 Explanation:
Given that M^{4}=I or M^{4 k}=I or M^{4(k+1)}=I
\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad M^{-1} \times I & =M^{4(k+1)} \times M^{-1} \\ \therefore \quad M^{-1} & =M^{4 k+3}\end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad M^{-1} \times I & =M^{4(k+1)} \times M^{-1} \\ \therefore \quad M^{-1} & =M^{4 k+3}\end{aligned}
Question 2 |
The second moment of a Poisson-distributed random variable is 2. The mean of the random variable is _______
0.5 | |
1 | |
2 | |
3 |
Question 2 Explanation:
In Poisson distribution,
Mean = First moment =\lambda
secondmoment =\lambda^{2}+\lambda
Given, that second moment is 2
\begin{array}{r} \lambda^{2}+\lambda=2 \\ \lambda^{2}+\lambda-2=0 \\ (\lambda+2)(\lambda-1)=0 \\ \lambda=1 \end{array}
Mean = First moment =\lambda
secondmoment =\lambda^{2}+\lambda
Given, that second moment is 2
\begin{array}{r} \lambda^{2}+\lambda=2 \\ \lambda^{2}+\lambda-2=0 \\ (\lambda+2)(\lambda-1)=0 \\ \lambda=1 \end{array}

Question 5 Explanation:
F^{\prime}(x)=f(x) which is density function
F^{\prime}(x)=f(x) \lt 0 when x \lt 0
\therefore \quad F(x) is decreasing for x \lt 0
F^{\prime}(x)=f(x) \gt 0
when x\gt 0
\therefore \quad F(x) is increasing for x\gt 0.
F^{\prime}(x)=f(x) \lt 0 when x \lt 0
\therefore \quad F(x) is decreasing for x \lt 0
F^{\prime}(x)=f(x) \gt 0
when x\gt 0
\therefore \quad F(x) is increasing for x\gt 0.
