Answer: -2/5

Step-by-step explanation: the slope of a line is the one that describes the direction and inclination of that line. When two lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. To determine the slope of a line, we need to isolate "y" and the slope will be the number that is with the "x," the procedure is shown as follow:

5y+2x=12

isolating y:

5y=12-2x

y=(12-2x)/5

the number that is with the "x" is -2/5 so that is the slope.

If Log 20 = 1.301 what is the value of Logsub100 20?

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

$log_{100}20 = 0.6505$

Step-by-step explanation:

log20 = 1.301 (when you see only "log" with no base, it is taken as a base 10)

This basically means:

$10^{1.301} = 20$ (This is the log in exponential form)

Since we don't know what $log_{100}20$ is equal to, we will say $log_{100}20$ = x

So to solve for $log_{100}20$ = x, you do the same thing. (convert to exponential form)

$100^{x} =20$

Now you will notice that both of these equations are equal to 20.

Since 20 = 20,

we can say $100^{x}$ = $10^{1.301}$

Another way of saying 100, is $10^{2}$ (make the bases the same)

Now we get $10^{2x} = 10^{1.301}$

(we get 2x because an exponent to the power of an exponent ( $2^{x}$ ) is the same as 2 * x)

Because you have the same base, you can just ignore the 10s and focus on the exponents. So you get:

2x = 1.301

x = 0.6505

Assume that a policyholder is four times more likely to file exactly two claims as to file exactly three claims. Assume also tha

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

1.3125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that our random variable $X$ follows a Poisson distribution $P(X=k)=\frac{\lambda^k e^-^p}{k!} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ p=\lambda$

Evaluate the formula at $k=2,3:$

$P(X=2)=0.5\lambda^2e^{-\lambda}\\\\P(X=3)=\frac{1}{6}\lambda^2e^{-\lambda}$

#since

$4P(X=2)=P(X=3);\\\\0.5\lambda^2e^{-\lambda}=4\times\frac{1}{6}\lambda^3e^{-\lambda}\\\\0.5\lambda^2=\frac{2}{3}\lambda^3\\\\0.75=\lambda$

The mean and variance of the Poisson distributed random variable is equal to $\lambda$ :

$\mu=\lambda=0.75\\\sigma ^2=\lambda=0.75$

#By property variance:

$\sigma ^2=V(X)=E(X^2)-(E(X))^2=E(X^2)\\\\E(X^2)=\sigma^2+\mu^2=0.75+0.75^2=1.3125$

The expectation is 1.3125
