The following data gives the approximate population of the world for selected years from 1850 until 2000. Year 1850 1900 1950 1980 2000 Population 1.3 (billions) 1.6 4.4 3 Assume that the population growth can be modeled with an exponential function p = bemx where x is the year and p is the population in billions. Use linearleast-squares regression to determine the constants b and m for which the function best fits the data. Use the equation to estimate the population in the year 1970.

An insurance company's records of 12,299 automobile insurance policies showed that 2073 policy holders made a claim (Courtesy J. Hickman). Among insured drivers under age 25, there were 1032 claims out of 5192 policies. For person selected at random from the policy holders, let A = [Claim was filed] and B: [Under age 25] . Use Bayes' Theorem to obtain the probability that the person is under age 25 given that a claim was filed. Answer in three decimal places.
