The 3 similar triangles shown in the figure are:

a) Triangle WXV
b) Triangle WVY
c) Triangle VXY

For the similar triangles, the ratio of their corresponding sides is always equal.

From Triangle WXV, we are given the ratio WX/WV.
The side corresponding to WX, in Triangle WVY will be WY and side corresponding to WV will be WY.

So, we can write:

WX/WV = WV/WY

Moreover,
The side corresponding to WX, in Triangle VXY will be VX and side corresponding to WV will be VY.

So, we can write:

WX/WV = VX/VY

From these two equation, we can write:

VX/VY = WV/WY

So, option B gives the correct answer

The similarities are VWX ~ YVX ~ YWV. Matching corresponding letters, you have
WX/WV = VX/VY = WV/WY

The appropriate choice is ...
B. VX/VY = WV/WY

First, decide whether the distribution is a discrete probability distribution, then select the reason for making this decision.

Lyrx [107]

It is not a <u>probability distribution</u>, as the sum of the probabilities is more than 1, thus, the correct option is No, considering that:

c) Since the sum of the probabilities is not equal to 1.

-----------------------------------------

For the sequence $(x, P(X = x))$ representing a probability distribution, it is needed that:

All probabilities are between 0 and 1, that is, for all values of x, $0 \leq P(X = x) \leq 1$ .
The sum of all probabilities is 1, that is: $\sum_{i = 1}^n P(x_i) = 1$
