B P, S, N

C 3 4

D 4 3

E 12

69. The person ordering the most nuggets is:
A U
B V
C W
D X
E U and X

70. Using matrices to calculate the cost for each student, we would calculate:
A M N
B N M
C M + N
D N + M
E 4N

71. The multiplication of matrices M N would result in a matrix of order:
A 4 3
B 4 4
C 4 1
D 1 1
E 1 4

72. Matrix A has order 2 m, matrix B has order 4 n and matrix AB has order 2 3. The values
of m and n are:
A m = 3, n = 3

B m = 2, n = 3

C m = 4, n = 3
D m = 2, n = 4

E m = 3, n = 4

The following information relates to questions 75 to 77.

A department store makes up gift boxes with packets of chocolates, bags of nuts and bottles of
wine. The costs are chocolates $2.80, nuts $2.40, wine $11.20. Matrix D represents the number of
each item in each of gift box, A, B and C.

75. Which box(es) contain the most items?
A Box A only

B Box B only

C Box C only
D Box A and B only
E Box B and C only

76. To calculate the cost of each box, it is planned to multiply D E where E is the cost matrix.
Matrix E must be:

The following information relates to questions 79 & 82.

A particular employer provides a car to each of their employees. The employees have a choice of
Ford, Holden or Toyota and upgrade their car at the end of each year.
The transition matrix shown shows the employees choices:

Now

Next 0.5 0.2 0.1
0.3 0.7 0.1
0.2 0.1 0.8

79. The 0.3 in the matrix tells us that:
A 30% of all employees will choose a Holden next
B 30% of all employees currently have a Ford
C 30% of all employees who currently have a Ford will choose a Holden next
D 30% of all employees who currently have a Holden will choose a Ford next
E 30% of all employees who currently have a Ford will choose a Ford again

0.3
80. The initial state matrix is ! = 0.4 . This tells us that:
0.3

A Initially Ford was the most popular choice
B Initially Holden was the most popular choice
C Initially Toyota was the most popular choice
D More employees chose Ford than Toyota
E None of the above

81. The percentage of employees, to the nearest whole number, choosing Ford in two years time
is:
A 24%
B 39%
C 26%
D 40%
E 30%

82. The steady state proportions for the car preferences shows that the most popular choice of
car is:
A Toyota only
B Ford only
C Holden only
D Ford and Holden only
E Ford and Toyota only
