I would appreciate if my answer is chosen as a brainliest answer
bearing in mind that parallel lines have the same exact slope, then any parallel line to the one above will have the same slope as that one.

Answer:
0.0177 = 1.77% probability that the first defect is caused by the seventh component tested.
The expected number of components tested before a defective component is found is 50, with a variance of 0.0208.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that the probability of a defective computer component is 0.02. Components are randomly selected. Find the probability that the first defect is caused by the seventh component tested.
First six not defective, each with 0.98 probability.
7th defective, with 0.02 probability. So

0.0177 = 1.77% probability that the first defect is caused by the seventh component tested.
Find the expected number and variance of the number of components tested before a defective component is found.
Inverse binomial distribution, with 
Expected number before 1 defective(n = 1). So

Variance is:

The expected number of components tested before a defective component is found is 50, with a variance of 0.0208.
X=1, x=-7 would be the correct answer.
Perimeter of a parallelogram = 2(l+b)
= 2 (65+42)
= 2*107
= 214 cm
