Cesarean Deliveries The cesarean delivery rate jumped 27.5% between 2001 and 2006 and 2.6% between 2005 and 2006.

a. If the cesarean delivery rate was 31.1 per 100 live births in 2006, calculate the cesarean delivery rates in 2001 and 2005.

b. Use the information presented in the table to find a model for the cesarean delivery rate between 2000 and 2008.

c. Use the model to calculate the cesarean delivery rates in 2001 and 2005. How close are those values to the results of part a? Are these estimates found with interpolation or extrapolation?
