Chapter 7, Problem 114P

A study was conducted in Sweden to relate the age at surgery for undescended testis to the subsequent risk of testicular cancer [10], Twelve events were reported in 22,884 person-years of follow-up among men who were 13-15 years at age of surgery.

What is the estimated incidence rate of testicular cancer among this group of men? Express the rate per 100,000 person-years.

Results of tossing a coin four times: H, H, H, H How many times is the Coin expected to come up heads? How did you determine this number?     Calculate the % deviation.       Can these results be used to conclude that a coin is not fair? Why or why not?
Cycles to failure Position in ascending order 0.5 f(x)) (x;) Problem 44 Marsha, a renowned cake scientist, is trying to determine how long different cakes can survive intense fork attacks before collapsing into crumbs. To simulate real-world cake consumption, she designs a test where cakes are subjected to repeated fork stabs and bites, mimicking the brutal reality of birthday parties. After rigorous testing, Marsha records 10 observations of how many stabs each cake endured before structural failure. Construct P-P plots for (a.) a normal distribution, (b.) a lognormal distribution, and (c.) a Weibull distribution (using the information included in the table below). Which distribution seems to be the best model for the cycles to failure for this material? Explain your answer in detail.
