Chapter 0, Problem 56E

The state of Utah appends a ninth digit a 9 to an eight-digit driver’slicense number a 1 a 2 .   .   . a 8 so that ( 9 a 1 + 8 a 2 + 7 a 3 + 6 a 4 + 5 a 5 + 4 a 6 + 3 a 7 + 2 a 8 + a 9 )  mod  10 = 0 . If you know that the license number 149105267 has exactly one digit incorrect, explain why the error cannot be in position 2, 4, 6, or 8.

4. In a study of how students give directions, forty volunteers were given the task ofexplaining to another person how to reach a destination. Researchers measured thefollowing five aspects of the subjects’ direction-giving behavior:• whether a map was available or if directions were given from memory without a map,• the gender of the direction-giver,• the distances given as part of the directions,• the number of times directions such as “north” or “left” were used,• the frequency of errors in directions.a) Identify each of the variables in this study, and whether each is quantitative orqualitative. For each quantitative variable, state whether it is discrete or continuousb) Was this an observational study or an experimental study? Explain your answer

Assume {u1, U2, us} spans R³. Select the best statement. A. {U1, U2, us, u4} spans R³ unless u is the zero vector. B. {U1, U2, us, u4} always spans R³. C. {U1, U2, us, u4} spans R³ unless u is a scalar multiple of another vector in the set. D. We do not have sufficient information to determine if {u₁, u2, 43, 114} spans R³. OE. {U1, U2, 3, 4} never spans R³. F. none of the above
