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.
The following data consists of the times to relapse and the times to death following relapse of 10 bone marrow transplant patients. In the sample patients 4 and 6 were alive in relapse at the end of the study and patients 7–10 were alive, free of relapse at the end of the study. Suppose the time to relapse had an exponential distribution with hazard rate lambda and the time to death in relapse had a Weibull distribution with parameters theta and alpha (a) Construct the likelihood for the relapse rate lambda. (c) Suppose we were only allowed to observe a patients death time if the patient relapsed. Construct the likelihood for theta and alpha based on this truncated sample
An experiment is conducted to determine how many heavy duty clocks will survive for a 24-hour period after being exposed to an extreme amount of heat. 62 heavy-duty clocks are exposed to an extreme amount of heat and the clock makers monitor the heavy duty clocks for 24 hours to determine whether or not they will stay working within that time period. It is known by the clock making company that their clocks have a 48% chance of dying within 24 hours when exposed to such heat. Let X = the number of clocks that do not work after 24 hours. What is the mean of this binomial random variable? Report your answer to two decimal places. What is the standard deviation of this binomial random variable? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Weekly downtime of internet services from an internet service provider (in hours) has expected value 0.5 and variance 0.25. Based on past experience, the data scientist of a retailer store has calculated the loss function to the store from the downtime as C=30X+2X2 where X is the amount of weekly downtime and C is cost. Find the Expected cost, i.e, E(C).

A weight-loss program wants to test how well their program is working. The company selects a simple random sample of 51 individual that have been using their program for 15 months. For each individual person, the company records the individual's weight when they started the program 15 months ago as an x-value. The subject's current weight is recorded as a y-value. Therefore, a data point such as (205, 190) would be for a specific person and it would indicate that the individual started the program weighing 205 pounds and currently weighs 190 pounds. In other words, they lost 15 pounds. When the company performed a regression analysis, they found a correlation coefficient of r = 0.707. This clearly shows there is strong correlation, which got the company excited. However, when they showed their data to a statistics professor, the professor pointed out that correlation was not the right tool to show that their program was effective. Correlation will NOT show whether or not there is…
A researcher is investigating the effect of acupuncture treatment for chronic back pain. A sample of n = 4 participants is obtained from a pain clinic. Each individual ranks the current level of pain and then begins a 8-week treatment. At the end of the program, the pain level is rated again. For this sample, pain level decreased by an average MD = -4.5 points with SS = 27. Can you conclude that acupuncture treatment significantly reduces back pain? Use α = .05.

The maximum patent life for a drug is 17 years. Subtracting the length of time required by the FDA for testing and approval of the drug provides the actual patent life for the drug that is, the length of time that the company has to recover research and development costs and to make a profit. The distribution of the lengths of actual patent lives for new drugs is given below, where Y is a random variable representing actual patent life of a drug (in years): y P(Y=y) F(y) 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 0.06 0.08 0.11 0.15 0.22 0.18 0.12 0.08 a) Complete the table above with the cumulative probability distribution for actual patent life (F(y) = P(Y ≤ y)). b) What is the probability that the actual patent life of a random drug is 6 years or less? c) What is the probability that the actual patent life of a random drug is more than 8 years? Show this in two ways: i. using the probability distribution for Y ii. using the cumulative probability distribution for Y, and applying our probability of comple-…

Previously, 4% of mothers smoked more than 21 cigarettes during their pregnancy. An obstetrician believes that the percentage of mothers who smoke 21 cigarettes or more is less than 4% today. She randomly selects 115 pregnant mothers and finds that 3 of them smoked 21 or more cigarettes during pregnancy. Test the researcher's statement at the α=0.1 level of significance. find p value
