Answer

nonsingular.

Work Step by Step

Since one can show that $$\left|\begin{array}{rrr} {\frac{1}{2}} & {\frac{3}{2}}&{2} \\ {\frac{2}{3}} & {-\frac{1}{3}}&{0}\\{1}&{1}&{1}\end{array}\right|=\frac{5}{6},$$ then the matrix $$\left[\begin{array}{rrr} {\frac{1}{2}} & {\frac{3}{2}}&{2} \\ {\frac{2}{3}} & {-\frac{1}{3}}&{0}\\{1}&{1}&{1}\end{array}\right]$$ is nonsingular.
