Cars cross a certain point in the highway in accordance with a Poisson process with rate λ = 3 cars per minute. 1. If I run blindly across the highway it takes me s = 10 seconds to cross the road. Assume that if I am on the highway when a car passes by, then I will be injured. What is the probability that I will be uninjured? 2. Suppose that I am agile enough to escape from a single car, but if I encounter 2 or more cars while attempting to cross the highways, I will be injured. However, it now takes me s = 30 seconds to cross the highway. What is the probability that I will be uninjured while crossing the highway?

Suppose you are fitting a survival model and the outcome of interest is time to the diagnosis of cancer (T). A subject entered the study at t=0 and the diagnosis of cancer did not occur by the end of the study period, what kind of event is that? It is an interval-censored observation because an event happened between time of entry and the exit. It is a right-censored observation because no event will be observed during the study period. It is a left-censored observation where the event of interest happened before the study starts. It is a right-censored observation because the event has already occurred.
