Inverse Normal Distribution

The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of tw…

Mean, Median, Mode

It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency o…

Z-Scores

A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow compar…

5. Consider the matrix 102 A= 440 002 In this question work to 4 decimal places throughout and give your final answer to 3 decimal places. (a) Use 4 iterations of the power method to calculate an estimate of the maximal mag- nitude eigenvalue of A and an estimate of the corresponding eigenvector. Start with (1,1,1) as the initial estimate of the eigenvector. Given that the the inverse of matrix A is 4 0 -4 1 =- -4 1 4 4 0 0 2 (b) Use this matrix to perform 3 iterations of the power method to calculate an estimate of the minimal magnitude eigenvalue of A and an estimate of the corresponding eigenvector. Start with (1,1,1)" as the initial estimate of the eigenvector.
