n.

To find: Whether the statement “The nonzero rows of a matrix A form a basis for Row A” is true or false.
Answer to Problem 1SE
The statement is false.
Explanation of Solution
To form a basis for A, the rows have to span A and should also be linearly independent.
The nonzero rows of a matrix A span Row A but that does not guarantee that they are linearly independent.
Hence, the statement is false.
o.

Answer to Problem 1SE
The statement is true.
Explanation of Solution
The nonzero rows of the echelon form of a matrix, form a basis for the row space of that matrix.
If the echelon form for two matrices is same, then the basis for the row spaces is also same.
Since, row spaces are vector spaces and if two vector spaces have same basis, then the vector spaces are same.
Hence, the statement is true.

- Based on a poll of 1000 residents, a newspaper article claims that 62% of the residents in town favor the development of a recreational park on the west side of town. A community action group interested in preserving the environment claims that 45% of the town's residents favor the development of a recreational park. To determine whether the sample supports the population proportion, a simulation of 100 trials is run, each with a sample of 200, using the point estimate of the population.
