Question. Why is it good enough just to have the page number in #7? I was thinking it should be...strangers"(Good 3). In 2 and 4 you have all three: title, author, and page. Just curious as to what rule I have forgotten.

Never mind! I know the answer...only author and page number are essential; title is optional. :)

you need the title or else others won’t be able to know what book your explaining and understand what your talking about

2.
Source Information: Females are more likely to plan for the future than men by 50%.

Yes, this is an example of paraphrasing thus would need to be cited.
