Is a matrix populated randomly by 0/1 invertible?

Suppose each entry of a $2\times 2$ matrix is populated with $0$ or $1$ independently with probability $1/2$. What is the probability that this matrix invertible? What will be the …

Write it the way you'd explain it to a classmate

Consider the following hypothesis testing for population mean $\mu$ when the population variance is $\textbf{unknown}$; \begin{align*} H_{o}:\mu=\mu_{0}\\ H_{1}:\mu > \mu_{0}. \end…
