D) 5.
E) 300 minutes.
Finite Population
A population set that contains a limited number of observations or elements.
Average Service Time
The mean time it takes to serve a customer or complete a process, a critical metric in evaluating the performance of a service system.
Time Between Service
The period or interval between successive services rendered to customers or maintenance of equipment.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The service factor X is calculated as the ratio of the average service time (T) to the average time between service requirements (U), which is T/U = 100/400 = 0.25. However, the correct mathematical operation should result in 0.25, indicating a mistake in the initial calculation or choice selection. The correct answer based on the provided calculation should indeed be 0.25, aligning with option B, not A. This correction addresses the mathematical error in the initial response.
