By chance, is anyone a little versed in dimensional analysis/basic math modeling?

Hello everyone

April Fool's..

True. Well, perhaps one could use a rule-of-thumb test by simply googling the term. If its meaning is found easily, then the question could be closed without necessarily going against the website's values in providing answers to questions not found elsewhere

i.e., there's reason to think others would have also heard of the term in question, regardless of whether or not the term is, as you say, valid

I am not as well versed in this website's decorum as you guys are, but from my perspective, it seems that the asker at least bothered to provide context for his question based off previous places in the workforce

@RobertHarvey Why should it be closed? Too basic?

and now to figure out why my python code isn't connecting to MS SQL...

Thanks for the reference, @Snowman

@ThomasOwens Thanks! That provided a fairly good starting point

So, I have (what I think is a) fairly elementary question in SQL, but I'm not sure where the appropriate place to ask it is, so I thought I'd ask here. Suppose I have some database table "A" that has a certain column "a_3." Any time a value changes in that column, I'd like to record each change in a_3 in some other database table "B." How could I go about doing this? Any hints on what to check out?

How's everyone doing?

Hello

Hello

hello

hello

(anyone here?)

but I thank you for responding anyway!

@AaronHall I apologize- family from out of town has me busy this holiday weekend

hello

any Python guys in the building?

C# was the first language I ever learned. It's a work in progress.

oh cool

what's your language of choice?

no worries

but it's not working for large numbers

and I figured the algorithm is simple enough

I'm trying to code something in Python (I'm a bit of a novice)

good good

how's it going?

hello

hello

maybe I'll figure it out

Anyway thanks for your help

Ah. I wish it was obvious to me

Also, xi'an's hint doesn't directly help me get the joint PMF, but rather the conditional PMF, correct?

(well, figuratively speaking...for now)

alright, I'll try banging my head a little more

Pardon me, I didn't know his exact identity.

am I trying to find the probability of getting the first fax given that I already know how many milliseconds it would take to get 100 faxes?

(or her)

I'm honestly not quite sure I understand him

of $T_1$ conditional on $$N=∑^{100}_{i=1}T_i=n$$

sorry-

Sure. Xi'an says to find the distribution of $$N=∑^{100}_{i=1}T_i=n$$

thanks anyway

maybe I'm just inept at this

Alright

(and for what it's worth, the question I have in mind is this one: stats.stackexchange.com/q/204759/67220 )

@Glen_b Thank you for responding. I already have posted it, and user Xi'an has tried helping me in the comments section. However, I don't seem to be understanding what he's getting at with his comments. I normally would leave a question up for other users to chime in, but to be completely frank and honest with you, I've been stuck on this problem for several days now
