    First step is to understand what is to be done. Can you describe what steps the program needs to take to solve the problem?
    What does a column vector A [n] look like? What is in it? Does it contain numbers? Are they integers or float?
    Where does some number come from?
    What is The matrix and number ? Where do they come from?
    random value generator. See the Random class for methods that will generate random numbers.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    This thread is old enough that doing other people's homework no longer applies, so here's my version

    import java.util.Random;
     
    public class Main{ 
      public static void main(String[] args) { 
        Random rng = new Random(); // random number generator
     
        // create a vector with ten random doubles in the range [0..1)
        double vector[] = new double[10];
     
        // load vector with random values
        for( int index = 0; index < vector.length; index++){
          vector[index] = rng.nextDouble();
        }
     
        displayVector(vector);
     
        // random multiplier int in range [0..100)
        int multiplier = rng.nextInt(100);
     
        // multiply vector by scaling factor (multiplier)
        for( int index = 0; index < vector.length; index++){
          vector[index] *= multiplier;
        }
     
        // display results
        System.out.println(
          String.format("scaled by a factor of %s", multiplier)
        );
        displayVector(vector);
     
      } // main
     
      // display vector
      static void displayVector(double[] vector){
        String output = "v[ ";
        for(double thisValue : vector){
          output += String.format("%4.4f ", thisValue);
        }
        System.out.println(output + "]");
      } // displayVector
     
    } // Main
