A random sample of failure time of 49 kidney transplants (in months) is given: 5.27 43.72 3.96 20.34 44.06 31.18 21.98 34.99 39.36 3.39 23.42 43.41 34.35 46.71 64.87 4.53 7.02 40.50 7.38 37.74 13.49 68.48 48.74 12.85 24.15 27.33 4.82 20.00 55.28 20.83 24.13 11.80 13.82 31.55 36.69 52.57 12.45 40.07 16.86 15.54 15.54 3.85 4.08 5.62 17.44 3.38 41.61 29.52 21.61 If we assume failure time has a Gamma distribution answer the following questions (with 2 decimal points). -Confidence Interval: Put a two-sided 85% CI on True mean failure time. a.What is the lower bound (LB) of this two-sided CI (with 3 decimal points)? b.What is the upper bound (UB) of this two-sided CI (with 3 decimal points)?
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.

If we assume failure time has a Gamma distribution answer the following questions (with 2 decimal points).
-Confidence Interval: Put a two-sided 85% CI on True mean failure time.
a.What is the lower bound (LB) of this two-sided CI (with 3 decimal points)?
b.What is the upper bound (UB) of this two-sided CI (with 3 decimal points)?
