Question

6. The amount of time it took four soccer players to run from one goal line to the other is as follows:

Player #1 - 10.4 seconds

Player #2 - 10.1 seconds

Player #3 - 9.9 seconds

Player #4 - 9.4 seconds.

If the data was only accurate to the ones place, which soccer player's time would be different from the others?

A Player #1

B Player #3

C Player #2

D Player #4

Answer 1

Given:

The amount of time it took four soccer players to run from one goal line to the other is:

Player #1 - 10.4 seconds

Player #2 - 10.1 seconds

Player #3 - 9.9 seconds

Player #4 - 9.4 seconds

To find:

Soccer player whose time would be different from the others, if the data was only accurate to the ones place.

Solution:

We need to approximate the time to the ones place.

Player #1 - 10.4 seconds = 10 seconds

Player #2 - 10.1 seconds = 10 seconds

Player #3 - 9.9 seconds = 10 seconds

Player #4 - 9.4 seconds = 9 seconds

Therefore, the time of players 4 is different from others.

Hence, the correct option is D.
