Two defenders and the ball carrier start at the 40-yard line. Defender 1 starts 10 yards away from the ball carrier to the ball carrier’s left. Defender 2 starts 30 yards away from the ball carrier to the ball carrier’s right. Defender 1 runs 1.1 times as fast as the ball carrier. Defender 2 runs 1.25 times as fast as the ball carrier. Will either defender be able to reach the ball carrier before he runs the 40 yards he needs to reach the end zone and score a touchdown? Provide evidence to support your answer. Also wsg

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )

the answer is 62

answer: f = 32.2m
