Diagonalize the Matrix A, If Possible $$A = P D P^{ - 1}$$

question 17

Multiple Choice

Diagonalize the matrix A, if possible. That is, find an invertible matrix P and a diagonal matrix D such that
$$A = P D P^{ - 1}$$
- $A=\left[\begin{array}{rrrr}9 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\0 & 9 & 0 & 0 \\-16 & 4 & 1 & 16 \\0 & 0 & 0 & 9\end{array}\right]$

Definitions:

Z-score

A statistical measure that describes a value's relationship to the mean of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean.

Finite Population Correction

An adjustment made to the standard formula for calculating sample size and variance when the sample size is a significant fraction of the total population.

Non-normal Probability Distribution

Describes a distribution of data that does not follow the normal distribution pattern, showing skewness or kurtosis different from a bell-shaped curve.

Central Limit Theorem

A fundamental statistical theory stating that, given a sufficiently large sample size from a population with a finite level of variance, the mean of all samples from the same population will be approximately equal to the mean of the population.
