Distance = 250 miles, time spent = 4.5 hours
AVERAGE SPEED = DISTANCE/TIME
So AVERAGE SPEED =250/4.5 = 55.55 mi/h. The closest is 56 mi/h
The answer must be No. However, the reasons offered here don't make any sense in relation to the way traffic lights work. I believe the best choice may be
... because the results are likely to occur by chance.
If lights are randomly red or green with equal probability, the probability of encountering 9 of 16 lights in any particular state is about 0.17, high enough to say it could occur by chance.
Lights that are not coordinated are rarely programmed that way, more often being either (a) traffic-controlled, or (b) on a timed cycle that favors one direction over another. That is, their probability of being green is very unlikely to be 1/2 in any sort of random way.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I find it convenient to use a graphing calculator to graph the function.
The "start" is x=0, where the distance from the sprinkler head is 0 feet. The value of h(0) is 9.5, the height of the sprinkler head.
- The irrigation system is positioned <u> 9.5 </u> feet above the ground.
The graph shows the vertex of the curve is (5, 34.5), meaning that a height of 34.5 feet is reached 5 feet horizontally from the sprinkler.
- The spray reaches a <u> maximum </u> height of <u> 34.5 </u> feet at a horizontal distance of <u> 5 </u> feet away from the sprinkler head.
- The spray reaches all the way to the ground at about <u> 10.9 </u> feet away.
The graph shows the x-intercept at about 10.9. That is where the height of the spray is 0 feet above the ground.
