Define $ W ={X}/(X + 2 Y)$. Then, the random variable $W$ has a non-central beta type 3 distribution, $Wsim extnormal{NCB3} (a,b;delta)$. In this article we study several of its properties. We also give a multivariate generalization of the non-central beta type 3 distribution and derive its properties. %U http://cscanada.net/index.php/pam/article/view/2891
