Let A=[aij] be a square matrix of order 2 with entries either 0 or 1. Let E be the event that A is an invertible matrix. Then the probability P(E) is :
- 38
- 18
- 316
- 58
Answer
(1) 38
Solution
Concept: A is invertible its two rows are non-zero and different.
Total matrices =24=16
Non-zero rows: (1,0),(0,1),(1,1) 3 2=6 invertible matrices
P(E)= 616= 38
Answer: (1)
