The variance of the following grouped data is:
For what value of \( \alpha \), the matrix A is a singular matrix if \(A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 & \alpha+2 \\[0.3em] 2 & 4 & 8 \\[0.3em] 3 & 5 & 10 \end{bmatrix}\) ?
The eccentricity of \((\frac {x}{25})^2 + (\frac {y}{16})^2 = 1\) is:
Note: Assuming the intended equation is \( \frac{x^2}{25} + \frac{y^2}{16} = 1 \) based on the options. The literal interpretation \( \frac{x^2}{625} + \frac{y^2}{256} = 1 \) yields\(e =\frac {\sqrt{369}}{25}\), which is not among the options.
If \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) are any three arbitrary events such that \(P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = \frac{1}{4}\), \( P(A \cap B) = P(B \cap C) = 0 \), and \( P(C \cap A) = \frac{1}{8} \), find the probability that at least one of the events \( A \), \( B \), or \( C \) occur.}
