Have vehicles gotten more fuel-efficient over the years? Between 1960 and 1999 the size and shape of automobiles in the United States has changed almost annually. The amount of fuel consumed by these vehicles has also changed. The following table describes the average fuel consumption per year per passenger car in gallons of gasoline. 1997 Year, t Gallons Consumed Per Passenger Car 1960 1970 1980 1990 1995 1997 1998 1999 668 760. 576. 520. 530. 538. 544. 552
O Determine the average rate of change, in gallons of gas per year, from 1960 and 1999 and then determine what the result means in this situation.
A. 0.33gallyear, the average fuel consumption per year of a passenger car in the U. S. decreased by a third of a gallon per year.

B. 0.33 gallyear, the average fuel consumption per year of a passenger car in the U. S. increased by a third of a gallon per year.

C. 297 gallyear, the average fuel consumption per year of a passenger car in the U. S. increased by nearly 3 gal/year.

D. -2.97 gallyear, the average fuel consumption per year of a passenger car in the U. S. decreased by nearly 3 gallyear. US

Aprisoner is trapped in a cell containing three doors. the first door leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after two days of travel. the second leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after three days of travel. the third door leads immediately to freedom. (a) assuming that the prisoner will always select doors 1, 2 and 3 with probabili- ties 0.5,0.3,0.2 (respectively), what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (b) assuming that the prisoner is always equally likely to choose among those doors that he has not used, what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (in this version, if the prisoner initially tries door 1, for example, then when he returns to the cell, he will now select only from doors 2 and 3.) (c) for parts (a) and (b), find the variance of the number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom. hint for part (b): define ni to be the number of additional days the prisoner spends after initially choosing door i and returning to his cell.
