According to recent data the survival function for life after 63 is approximately given by
S(x) = 1-0.052x-0.078x²
where x is measured in decades. This function gives the probability that an individual who reaches the age of 63 will live at least x decades (10x
years), longer.
a. Find the median length of life for people who reach 63, that is, the age for which the survival rate is 0.50.

- An investigator modeled the log-odds of getting stomach cancer as a function of number of servings of vegetables per week and the number of servings of red mean per week using logistic regression. The odds that a person gets stomach cancer if they have 4 servings of red meat a week are 1.2 times the odds of cancer for someone who has 3 servings of red meat a week. suppose in the example, where the regression coefficient for servings of vegetables is -0.105, we have also obtained from the SAS output a Standard Error from the output of 0.097. Since our estimates are maximum likelihood estimates, we can assume that they follow a normal distribution. As such we can create confidence intervals for the regression coefficients using standard practices for estimates that have normal sampling distributions.

Having faced recent tuition hikes at your university, you are interested in the return to education, that is, how much more will you earn extra for an additional year of being at your institution. To investigate this question, you run the following regression: ahe= -4.58 + 1.71×educ N = 14,925, R2 = 0.18, SER = 9.30 a. Interpret the regression output. b. Being a female, you wonder how these results are affected if you entered a binary variable (DFemme), which takes on the value of "1" if the individual is a female, and is "0" for males.
