Answer:

The height of the building is 3636 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of three is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and one unknown, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. In the case of direct proportionality, when one magnitude increases, the other increases (or when one magnitude decreases the other magnitude will also decrease)

This is an example of direct proportionality where the rule of three can be applied as follows:

44 feet (Long of the shadow of your friend) ⇒ 66 feet (Height of your friend)

2424 feet (Long of the shadow of the building) ⇒ x (Height of the building)

So, to solve this direct proportionality you do the following calculation:

x=\frac{2424*66}{44}

x=\frac{159984}{44}

<em>x=3636</em>

<em>This means that the height of the building is 3636 feet long</em>

<h3 /><h3><em>Interest:</em></h3>

<em>Interest is the cost of borrowing money, and the money you earn from your savings.</em>

<em>Interest rates indicate this cost or return as a percentage of the amount you are borrowing or lending (since you are “lending” your savings to the </em><em>bank)</em>

In triangle XYZ. the measurements of angle X and angle Y are 45° Which is the longest side of the triangle
ipn [44]

Answer:

the side XY

Step-by-step explanation:

we know 2 angles in a triangle. but are 45 degrees.

that means the third angle Z is 180-45-45 = 90 degrees.

the side opposite of the largest angle is the longest side.

opposite of Z is the side XY.

For each given p, let ???? have a binomial distribution with parameters p and ????. Suppose that ???? is itself binomially distr
pshichka [43]

Answer:

See the proof below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question: "For each given p, let Z have a binomial distribution with parameters p and N. Suppose that N is itself binomially distributed with parameters q and M. Formulate Z as a random sum and show that Z has a binomial distribution with parameters pq and M."

Solution to the problem

For this case we can assume that we have N independent variables X_i with the following distribution:

X_i Bin (1,p) = Be(p) bernoulli on this case with probability of success p, and all the N variables are independent distributed. We can define the random variable Z like this:

Z = \sum_{i=1}^N X_i

From the info given we know that N \sim Bin (M,q)

We need to proof that Z \sim Bin (M, pq) by the definition of binomial random variable then we need to show that:

E(Z) = Mpq

Var (Z) = Mpq(1-pq)

The deduction is based on the definition of independent random variables, we can do this:

E(Z) = E(N) E(X) = Mq (p)= Mpq

And for the variance of Z we can do this:

Var(Z)_ = E(N) Var(X) + Var (N) [E(X)]^2

Var(Z) =Mpq [p(1-p)] + Mq(1-q) p^2

And if we take common factor Mpq we got:

Var(Z) =Mpq [(1-p) + (1-q)p]= Mpq[1-p +p-pq]= Mpq[1-pq]

And as we can see then we can conclude that   Z \sim Bin (M, pq)
