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.
