Answer:

<u>1.16 m (approximately)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the width of the path.

Total area  = (5+2x)(3+2x) = 39

Expand and simplify

4x²+ 16x+15-39 = 0

4x² + 16x - 24 = 0

Simplify

x² + 4x -6 = 0

Rational factoring does not work, so use quadratic formula

x = +/- sqrt(10) -2

= 1.16 or -5.16 (reject)

= <u>1.16 m (approximately)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental design that this question uses is the stratified design with color of paper as the blocks

A stratified design is one where the population has been divided into strata that are homogeneous. A good number of participants would then be picked for each of the stratum. The homogeneous strata are also known as the blocks and here in this question we have color of paper as the block here.

The students are of different school levels, elementary, high school and middle school. Each of these levels have 100 students. The students in each levels are halved and each half is randomly assigned information on either a white paper or a blue paper.

Answer:

  True

Step-by-step explanation:

It is the sum of numbers having a common difference. The fact that it is a sum makes it a series (as opposed to a sequence, which is just a list of numbers). The common difference (of 2.5) makes it an arithmetic series.

True, the sum is an arithmetic series.
