The answer is:  " 975 girls " .
___________________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________________________
What is 65% of 1500?
___________________________________________________
  65/100 * 1500/1 = ?  ;

The two "zeros" in "100" cancel out;  
and the two "zeros" in "1500" cancel out;
____________________________________________________
    And we are left with:
____________________________________________________
    65/1  * 15/1 = 65 * 15 = 975 girls.
_____________________________________________________
OTHER METHOD:
_____________________________________________________
   65% of 1500 = 65/100 * 1500 = 0.65 * 1500 = 975 girls.
_____________________________________________________
OTHER Method:
_____________________________________________________
  65% of 1500 = 65/100 * 1500 ;

Note:  65/100 = (65÷5) / (100÷5) = 13/20;

13/20 * 1500 = 13/20 * 1500/1 = ? ;

 The "zero" in "20" cancels out; and the last zero in "1500" cancels out;

and we have:  13/2 * 150/1 ;  

The "2" cancels to a "1" ; and the "150" cancels to a "75"; 

and we have:  13/1 * 75/1 = 13 * 75 = 975 .

Viefleur [7K]

The building would be 100ft tall. You have to take 20/6 = ?/30 The difference between 6 and 30 is x5. Then all you have to do is 20x5 and you get 100ft.

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.
