Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 51E
Eggs Hens usually begin laying eggs when they are about 6 months old. Young hens tend to lay smaller eggs, often weighing less than the desired minimum weight of 54 grams.
- a) The average weight of the eggs produced by the young hens is 50.9 grams, and only 28% of their eggs exceed the desired minimum weight. If a Normal model is appropriate, what would the standard deviation of the egg weights be?
- b) By the time these hens have reached the age of 1 year, the eggs they produce average 67.1 grams, and 98% of them are above the minimum weight. What is the standard deviation for the appropriate Normal model for these older hens?
- c) Are egg sizes more consistent for the younger hens or the older ones? Explain.

In a crossover trial comparing a new drug to a standard, π denotes the probabilitythat the new one is judged better. It is desired to estimate π and test H0 : π = 0.5against H1 : π = 0.5. In 20 independent observations, the new drug is better eachtime.(a) Find and plot the likelihood function. Give the ML estimate of π (Hint: youmay use the plot function in R)
Can you explain what this analysis means in layman's terms?
- We calculated that a target sample size of 3626, which was based on anticipated baseline 90-day mortality of 22% and a noninferiority margin of no more than 4 percentage points, would give the trial 80% power, at a one-sided alpha level of 2.5%, accounting for a maximum of 5% loss to follow-up and for early stopping rules for three interim analyses.-
Can you help me understand this analysis?
A 95.7% confidence interval is shown for the intention-to-treat analysis (accounting for alpha spending in interim analyses), and 95% confidence intervals are shown for the other two analyses. The widths of the confidence intervals have not been adjusted for multiplicity. The dashed line indicates the noninferiority margin of 4 percentage points.
