Explanation / Answer

Solving only first 4 parts as per Chegg rule:

A) Current population = 2300000 + 109000 - 111000

=2298000

Area = 80000sq miles

Population density=2298000/80000

=2.8725 people/sq miles

B) Estimated population at mid year = 2300000 - (111000-109000)/2 = 2299000

Birth rate per 1000 people=( 109000 * 1000)/2299000 = 47.4 1

That means 47 births per 1000 people

Death rate per 1000 people = (111000*1000)/2299000= 48.28

That means 48 people per 1000 people.

C) Growth rate per 1000 people = Change in population/Total population *100

=( 109000-111000) *100 / 2300000 = - 0.869?

D) As growth rate is negative , population will not double.
