Given that $$A = \left[ {\matrix{ { - 5} & { - 3} \cr 2 & 0 \cr } } \right]$$ and $${\rm I} = \left[ {\matrix{ 1 & 0 \cr 0 & 1 \cr } } \right],$$ the value of $${A^3}$$ is

The direction of vector $$A$$ is radially outward
from the origin, with $$\left| A \right| = K\,{r^n}$$
where $${r^2} = {x^2} + {y^2} + {z^2}$$ and $$K$$ is constant.
The value of $$n$$ for which $$\nabla .A = 0\,\,$$ is

Two independent random variables $$X$$ and $$Y$$ are uniformly distributed in the interval $$\left[ { - 1,1} \right].$$ The probability that max $$\left[ {X,Y} \right]$$ is less than $$1/2$$ is

A fair coin is tossed till a head appears for the first time. The probability that the number of required tosses is odd, is
