The probability of the given condition is 28/165.

Given that, there are four boys and eight girls in a class.

We need to find the probability of the given question.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

The probability is defined as the chances of happening of any random event or the possibility of happening of any event is called the probability.

The teacher randomly selects three different students to answer questions.

The first is the student is a girl, the second student is a boy, and the third student is a girl.

The total number of students=12, the number of boys=4 and the number of girls=8.

Now,

Step 1: The first student is a girl=8/12

Step 2: The second student is a boy=4/11

Step 3: The third student is a girl=7/10

In the first step, you select one of 8 girls among 12 students.

In the second step, you select one of 4 boys among the remaining 11 students.

In the third step, you select one of the remaining 7 girls among the remaining 10 students.

Thus, probability=(8/12)×(4/11)×(7/10)=28/165

Therefore, the probability of the given condition is 28/165.

Let X1, . . . ,Xn ∈ R be independent random variables with a common CDF F0. Let Fn be their ECDF and let F be any CDF. If F = Fn
Georgia [21]

Answer:

See the proof below.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we need to proof that: Let X_1, X_2, ...X_n \in R be independent random variables with a common CDF F_0. Let F_n be their ECDF and let F any CDF. If F \neq F_n then L(F)

Proof

Let z_a different values in the set {X_1,X_2,...,X_n}} and we can assume that n_j \geq 1 represent the number of X_i that are equal to z_j.

We can define p_j = F(z_j) +F(z_j-) and assuming the probability \hat p_j = \frac{n_j}{n}.

For the case when p_j =0 for any j=1,....,m then we have that the L(F) =0< L(F_n)

And for the case when all p_j >0 and for at least one p_j \neq \hat p_j we know that log(x) \leq x-1 for all the possible values x>0. So then we can define the following ratio like this:

log (\frac{L(F)}{L(F_n)}) = \sum_{j=1}^m n_j log (\frac{p_j}{\hat p_j})

log (\frac{L(F)}{L(F_n)}) = n \sum_{j=1}^m \hat p_j log(\frac{p_j}{\hat p_j})

log (\frac{L(F)}{L(F_n)}) < n\sum_{j=1}^m \hat p_j (\frac{p_j}{\hat p_j} -1)

So then we have that:

log (\frac{L(F)}{L(F_n)}) \leq 0

And the log for a number is 0 or negative when the number is between 0 and 1, so then on this case we can ensure that L(F) \leq L(F_n)

And with that we complete the proof.
