1 Subtract 22 from both sides
3|x-3|=14-23∣x−3∣=14−2

2 Simplify 14-214−2 to 1212
3|x-3|=123∣x−3∣=12

3 Divide both sides by 33
|x-3|=\frac{12}{3}∣x−3∣=

|x-3|=4∣x−3∣=4

5 Break down the problem into these 2 equations
x-3=4x−3=4
-(x-3)=4−(x−3)=4

6 Solve the 1st equation: x-3=4x−3=4How?
x=7x=7

7 Solve the 2nd equation: -(x-3)=4−(x−3)=4How?
x=-1x=−1

8 Collect all solutions
x=-1,7x=−1,7

Answer:

A t-score of 2.0244 should be used to find the 99% confidence interval for the population mean

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 39 - 1 = 38

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 38 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 0.99(t_{99}). So we have T = 2.0244.

A t-score of 2.0244 should be used to find the 99% confidence interval for the population mean

The bird population on an island is declining at a rate of 2.2% per year. If the population was 3500 in the year 2009, which is
Vinil7 [7]
Given:
2009 : 3,500 population
decrease of 2.2% per year. 
100% - 2.2% = 97.8%

2014 - 2009 = 5 years

3,500 * (0.978)^5 = 3,500 * 0.89473 = 3131.57

The bird population in 2014 will be 3,131.57 or 3,132.
