I assume you mean covariance matrix and I assume that you are familiar with the definition:
C = E[(X-u)(X-u)T]
where X is a random vector and u = E(X) is the mean
The definition of non-negative definite is:
xTCx ≥ 0 for any vector x Є R
So is xTE[(X-u)(X-u)T]x ≥ 0?
Then, from one of the covariance properties:
E[(xT(X-u))((X-u)Tx)] = E[xT([(X-u)(X-u)T]x)] = E[((xTI)x)] = E[xTx]
Finally, since we've already defined x to have only real values, xTx is therefore non-negative definite by definition.

How do you show that a square matrix A is similar to its transpose?
First we will handle the diagonalizable case.Assume A is diagonalizable, A=VDV-1.Thus AT=(V-1)TDVT,and D= VT AT(V-1)T.Finally we have that A= VVT AT(V-1)TV-1, hence A is similar to ATwith matrix VVT.If A is not diagonalizable, then we must consider its Jordan canonical form,A=VJV-1, where J is block diagonal with Jordan blocks along the diagonal.Recall that a Jordan block of size m with eigenvalue at L is a mxm matrix having L along the diagonal and ones along the superdiagonal.A Jordan block is similar to its transpose via the permutation that has ones along the antidiagonal, and zeros elsewhere.With this in mind we proceed as in the diagonalizable case,AT=(V-1)TJTVT.There exists a block diagonal permutation matrix P such thatJT=PJPT, thus J=PTVT AT(V-1)TP.Finally we have that A= VPTVT AT(V-1)TPV-1, hence A is similar to ATwith matrix VPTVT.Q.E.D.
Are there facts that show Moses did free the Jews?
If the question is whether there is any proof, or even circumstantial evidence that Moses freed the Israelites from Egypt, the answer is a definite 'no'. In fact, a considerable and growing amount of evidence proves very much the opposite. There was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible.

What does a distance versus time graph never show?
There are many things the graph does not show. It does not show my shoe size, for example.
Show that in simple random sampling the sample variance is an unbiased estimator of population variance?
It is a biased estimator. S.R.S leads to a biased sample variance but i.i.d random sampling leads to a unbiased sample variance.

Let A be a 6by4 matrix and B a 4by6 matrix show that the 6by6 matrix AB can not be invertible?
It is not possible to show that since it is not necessarily true.There is absolutely nothing in the information that is given in the question which implies that AB is not invertible.

How do you show a matrix is invertible?
For small matrices the simplest way is to show that its determinant is not zero.

Is Matrix ping pong an online game?
"Matrix ping pong is definitely not an online game. It is a show in which, two Japanese people play ping pong, while moving in matrix like motions, thus making it matrix ping pong."
