The following table gives the number of people in thousands who visited australia and south africa in 1998.
00:07
You estimate that 4 % of all visitors to australia and 3 % of all visitors to south africa decide to settle there permanently.

Take a to be the 3x2 matrix whose entries are from this table.
00:23
And let's compute a times b and a times c.
00:29
You can multiply these out by hand.
00:32
I'm going to use a little help.
00:33
I'm using the decimal matrix calculator, but you can use any handheld as well.
00:37
So we've got a 3x2 matrix that i'll call a with the elements 440 190, 950, 950, 1790, and 200.
00:52
We've got matrix b, that is a 2x1 matrix, 0 .04 and 0 .03.
01:03
And then we've got matrix c that is a 2x2 matrix, 0 .04, 0 .03.
01:17
0 .03.
01:21
Now we want to multiply a times b and we get 23 .3 66 .5 and 77 .6.
01:39
And a times c is 17 .6, 5 .7 .38, 38, 28 .5.
01:55
And 71 .66.
02:02
What we see here is the total that would have moved combined, notice.
02:09
That 17 .6 was 5 .7 is 23 .3.
02:13
And in the a times c that is telling you how much from each one...
