Chapter 3, Problem 2RE
Answer Problems 1 and 2 without referring back to the text. Fill in the blank or answer true or false.
2. If the rate of decay of a radioactive substance is proportional to the amount A(t) remaining at time t, then the half-life of the substance is necessarily T = −(ln 2)/k. The rate of decay of the substance at time t = T is one-half the rate of decay at t = 0.

I need help in ensuring that I explain it propleryy in the simplifest way as possible
(c) Because logistic regression predicts probabilities of outcomes, observations used to build a logistic regression model need not be independent.
A. false: all observations must be independent
B. true
C. false: only observations with the same outcome need to be independent
I ANSWERED: A. false: all observations must be independent.
(This was marked wrong but I have no idea why. Isn't this a basic assumption of logistic regression)

- Spam filters are built on principles similar to those used in logistic regression. We fit a probability that each message is spam or not spam. We have several variables for each email. Here are a few: to_multiple=1 if there are multiple recipients, winner=1 if the word 'winner' appears in the subject line, format=1 if the email is poorly formatted, re_subj=1 if "re" appears in the subject line.
