Chapter 8.1, Problem 9MS

A card deal stick. Remove three cards from a deck of regular playing cards— a king and two aces. Have a friend act as the dealer. The dealer shuffles these three cards and places them facedown on a table, side by side, without looki ng at them. Once the cards are on the table, the dealer peeks under each card so that the location of the king is known to the dealer but not to you. Point to a card. The dealer then turns over one of the other two cards to reveal one of the aces. Stick with your original guess, turn over that card, and record whether you chose the king. Have the dealer scramble the cards again and repeat the scenario—again, don’t switch—and record the result. Repeat this experiment 50 times (you can get very quick at it). What percentage of the time did you choose the king?

The following are suggested designs for group sequential studies. Using PROCSEQDESIGN, provide the following for the design O’Brien Fleming and Pocock.• The critical boundary values for each analysis of the data• The expected sample sizes at each interim analysisAssume the standardized Z score method for calculating boundaries.Investigators are evaluating the success rate of a novel drug for treating a certain type ofbacterial wound infection. Since no existing treatment exists, they have planned a one-armstudy. They wish to test whether the success rate of the drug is better than 50%, whichthey have defined as the null success rate. Preliminary testing has estimated the successrate of the drug at 55%. The investigators are eager to get the drug into production andwould like to plan for 9 interim analyses (10 analyzes in total) of the data. Assume thesignificance level is 5% and power is 90%.Besides, draw a combined boundary plot (OBF, POC, and HP)
4. Solve the system of equations and express your solution using vectors. 2x1 +5x2+x3 + 3x4 = 9 -x2+x3 + x4 = 1 -x1-6x2+3x3 + 2x4 = -1
3. Simplify the matrix expression A(A-B) - (A+B)B-2(A - B)2 + (A + B) 2
