Chapter 2.3, Problem 46E
Age at First Marriage and First Birth The graph shows the “Great Crossover” where the median age of women at first marriage and the median age at giving first birth are equal. After the year at this crossover point, many women are having children before getting married.
- a. Use the points (1970, 22.1) and (2010, 25.5) to find the equation of a line that models the median age at giving first birth as a function of the year.
- b. Use the points (1970, 20.9) and (2010, 26.1) to find the equation of a line that models the median age for women at first marriage as a function of the year.
- c. Use the models from parts (a) and (b) to approximate the year in which the median age at giving first birth is equal to the median age at first marriage. Does this approximation agree with the crossover point in the accompanying graph

Quality Control: A factory produces light bulbs with a 2% defect rate. If a random sample of 20 bulbs is tested, what is the probability that exactly 2 bulbs are defective? (hint: p=2% or 0.02; x =2, n=20; use the same logic for the following problems)
Marketing Campaign: A marketing company sends out 1,000 promotional emails. The probability of any email being opened is 0.15. What is the probability that exactly 150 emails will be opened? (hint: total emails or n=1000, x =150)
Customer Satisfaction: A survey shows that 70% of customers are satisfied with a new product. Out of 10 randomly selected customers, what is the probability that at least 8 are satisfied? (hint: One of the keyword in this question is “at least 8”, it is not “exactly 8”, the correct formula for this should be = 1- (binom.dist(7, 10, 0.7, TRUE)). The part in the princess will give you the probability of seven and less than…
