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 .

A 20-foot flagpole casts a 6-foot Shadow how tall is a nearby building that casts a 30-foot shadow

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:
