In a test drive of a new fuel efficient car, a company tracks the car's mpg (miles per gallon) for 2 gallons of gasoline burned during a test drive. Use the approximating method developed in this section with intervals of 0.25 gallons of gasoline and the "left end" approach to complete the items below. Be sure to indicate the endpoints with open and closed "dots". (Click here for a printable version.)
