For the next 7 questions, please refer to the following information.

Mr. Cherry owns a gas station on a highway in Vermont. In the afternoon hours, there are, on average, 30 cars per hour passing by the gas station that would like to refuel. However, because there are several other gas stations with similar prices on the highway, potential customers are not willing to wait—if they see that all of the pumps are occupied, they continue on down the road.
The gas station has three pumps that can be used for fueling vehicles, and cars spend four minutes, on average, parked at a pump (filling up their tank, paying, etc.).

d. What is the probability that all three pumps are being used by vehicles?

A. 0.1895
B. 0.1650
C. 0.1458
D. 0.2105

e. How many customers are served every hour?

A. 23.7
B. 25.6
C. 12.7
D. 16.7

f. What is the utilization of the pumps?

A. 0.63
B. 0.83
C. 0.53
D. 0.73

Information The next three questions (7 to 9) refer to the following: We would like to determine how the weight of a car can be used to predict its fuel efficiency. The weight (in pounds) and the fuel efficiency (in miles per gallon) are recorded for a sample of ten cars. The least squares regression line is calculated to be ŷ =51.47−0.0089x{"version":"1.1","math":"\hat{y} = 51.47 - 0.0089x"}. It is also determined that 58.5% of the variation in a car's fuel efficiency...

The next four questions refer to the following information: Two methods, A and B, are available for teaching a certain industrial skill. There is a 95% chance of successfully learning the skill if method A is used, and an 80% chance of success if method B is used. However, method A is substantially more expensive and is therefore used only 25% of the time (method B is used the other 75% of the time). The following notations are suggested: A—method...
