Question-3

The marks obtained by four students in quiz-1, quiz-2 and the end-term exam are given below:

Names Quiz-1 Quiz-2 End-term
A 50 60 60
B 70 80 90
C 80 90 100
D 75 80 85

What is the mathematical quantity associated with each of the following practical quantities:


The quiz-1 marks of all students represents a column vector. This is usually denoted as:

\[ \begin{bmatrix}50\\ 70\\ 80\\ 75 \end{bmatrix} \]

This is the second column in the table. Visually, a column vector is represented vertically. This column vector has \(4\) components. Each component corresponds to the quiz-1 marks of one of the students.

The marks associated with student B represents a row vector. This is usually denoted as:

\[ \begin{bmatrix}70 & 80 & 90\end{bmatrix} \]

This is the third column in the table. Visually, a row vector is represented horizontally. This row vector has \(3\) components. Each component corresponds to the marks scored by B in an exam.
