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.

Benford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Suppose you are an auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue report involves millions of numbers in a large computer file. Let us say you took a random sample of n = 250 numerical entries from the file and r = 60 of the entries had a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the corporate file that have a first nonzero digit of 1. Test the claim that p is less than 0.301 by using α = 0.01. What does the area of the sampling distribution corresponding to your P-value look like? a. The area in the right tail of the standard normal curve. b. The area not including the right tail of the standard normal curve.…
