James Smithern has asked for a $3,500 loan from Beard Center National Bank to repay some personal expenses.  The bank uses a credit-scoring system to evaluate such requests, which contains the following discriminating factors along with their associated point weights in parentheses:

 Credit Rating (excellent 3; average 2; poor or no record 0)

 Time in Current Job (5 years or more 6; one to five years 3)

 Time at Current Residence (more than 2 years, 4; one to two years 2; less than one year 1)

 Telephone in Residence (yes 1; no 0)

 Holds Account at Bank (yes 2; no 0)

The bank generally grants a loan if a customer scores 9 or more points.  Mr. Smithern has an average credit rating, has been in his current job for three years and at his current residence for two years, has a telephone, but has no account at the bank.  Is James Smithern likely to receive the loan he has requested?
