Reading Books A HuffPost/YouGov poll conducted September 27–28, 2013, found that Americans read an average of 13.6 books per year. Suppose HuffPost/YouGov is 99% confident that the result from this poll is off by fewer than 1.8 books from the actual average x. Express this situation as an inequality involving absolute value, and solve the inequality for x to determine the interval in which the actual average is likely to fall. [Note: In statistics, this interval is called a 99% confidence interval.]
