Probability
It is known that screws produced by a certain company will be defective with probability $0.01$ independently of each other. The company sells the screws in package of $10$ and offers a replacement guarantee that at most $1$ of the $10$ screws is defective. What proportion of packages sold must the company replace? Answer given is $0.04$

Suppose that the length of the phone calls in minutes is an exponential random variable with parameter $\lambda = 1/10$. If someone arrives immediately ahead of you at a public telephone booth, find the probability of that you will have to wait a) more than $10$ minutes (ans $0.368$) b) between $10$ and $20$ minutes (ans $0.233$)

What is the number of linearly independent solutions of a set of vectors taken from identity matrix?
If I have 3 sets of vectors X=(1,0,0) , Y= (0,1,0) and Z=(0,0,1) then these all form a linearly independent set of vectors ,so K(X)+P(Y)+Q(Z) =0 , so we get K=P=Q=0 , but...

If we apply different elementary row transformation so does the unique solution vary ?
If the rank of a matrix is equal to the rank of augmented matrix then we get a unique solution , Now my ques is that I applied a different row transformation and got the values to be x=7/3 , y=-1/ ... given for this ques so that means they must have applied some other row transformation so how can it be unique ?
