Tourism in the 1990s The following table gives the number of people (in thousands) who visited Australia and South Africa in 1998:6
To | Australia | South Africa |
From North America | 440 | 190 |
Europe | 950 | 950 |
Asia | 1,790 | 200 |
It was predicted that in 2008, 20,000 fewer people from North America would visit Australia and 40,000 more would visit South Africa, 50,000 more people from Europe would visit each of Australia and South Africa, and 100,000 more people from Asia would visit South Africa, but there would be no change in the number of people from Asia visiting Australia.
a. Represent the changes predicted in 2008 in the form of a matrix, and use matrix algebra to predict the number of visitors from the three regions to Australia and South Africa in 2008.
b. Take A to be the
