Let F be a fixed 3x2 matrix, and let H be the set of all matrices A in $$\displaystyle{M}_{{{2}×{4}}}$$ with the property that FA = 0 (the zero matrix in $$\displaystyle{M}_{{{3}×{4}}}{)}$$. Determine if H is a subspace of $$\displaystyle{M}_{{{2}×{4}}}$$

A subspace of a vector space V is a subset H of V with 3 properties:
1. the zero vector of V is in H
2. the subspace is closed under addition
3. the subspace is closed under scalar multiplication.
1. Let A = 0. Then for any matrix F, FA = 0. Thus, $$\displaystyle{A}\in{H}$$. So H contains the zero vector.
2. Let $$\displaystyle{A}_{{1}},{A}_{{2}}\in{H}$$. Consider $$\displaystyle{A}_{{1}}+{A}_{{2}}.{F}{\left({A}_{{1}}+{A}_{{2}}\right)}={F}{A}_{{1}}{4}+{F}{A}_{{2}}$$ due to the distributive property of matrices. Since $$\displaystyle{A}_{{1}},{A}_{{2}}\in{H},{F}{A}_{{1}}+{F}{A}_{{2}}={0}+{0}={0}$$.
Thus, $$\displaystyle{A}_{{1}}+{A}_{{2}}\in{H}$$, so H is closed under addition.
3. Let $$\displaystyle{c}\in{R},{A}\in{H}$$. Consider cA. F(cA) = c(FA) according to scalar properties. Since $$\displaystyle{A}\in{H}$$, c(FA) =c(0) =0. Thus, $$\displaystyle{c}{A}\in{H}$$. So H is closed under scalar multiplication.
Thus, H fulfills all the requirements of the definition of a subspace of $$\displaystyle{M}_{{{2}{x}{4}}}$$.

You are part of a trivia team and have tracked your team’s performance since you started playing, so you know that your scores are normally distributed with $$\mu = 78$$ and $$\sigma = 12$$. Recently, a new person joined the team, and you think the scores have gotten better. Use hypothesis testing to see if the average score has improved based on the following 8 weeks’ worth of score data: $$82, 74, 62, 68, 79, 94, 90, 81, 80$$. 5. You get hired as a server at a local restaurant, and the manager tells you that servers’ tips are $42 on average but vary about $$12 (\mu = 42, \sigma = 12)$$. You decide to track your tips to see if you make a different amount, but because this is your first job as a server, you don’t know if you will make more or less in tips. After working 16 shifts, you find that your average nightly amount is$44.50 from tips. Test for a difference between this value and the population mean at the $$\alpha = 0.05$$ level of significance.
