Suppose that a given individual in a population has a survival time which is exponential with...
Given a covariate Z, suppose that the log survival time Y follows a linear model with a logistic error distribution, that is, Y = ln(X) = μ + βΖ + σ W where the pdf of W is given by eu f(w) = (1 + ewy, (a) For an individual with covariate Z, find the conditional survival function of the survival time X, given Z, namely, S(x |Z). (b) The odds that an individual will die prior to time x...
2.5.12. The length of time that an individual talks on a long-distance telephone call has been found to be of a random nature. Let X be the length of the talk; assume it to be a continuous random variable with probability density function given by 0, elsewhere. Find (a) The value of a that makes fx) a probability density function. (b) The probability that this individual will talk (i) between 8 and 12 min, (ii) less than 8 min,i) more...
3. Suppose that the 5-year survival probability, X, for women with breast cancer who live in a rural county follows Beta distribution with probability density function (pdf) fx (20) = 0.00-1 where 0 < x < 1 and parameter 6 > 0. Let X1, ..., X, be a random sample of size n from a population of rural counties. Researchers intend to make statistical inference on the parameter 6 using collected data X1, ..., (a) Let Y; = – log(Xi)...
Suppose X has an exponential distribution with probability density function: fo) = 2 le-21x for x > 0. Then P(X> 1 1 | X丬0) is. O 1 A doctor knows 17 % of all her patients are late for their appointments. Given 6 randomly selected patients, what is the approximate probability that exactly 3 of them are late for their appointments? (Please answer to 4 decimal places). Number A rock concert producer has scheduled an outdoor concert. If it is...
1) Repeated doubling, in which each doubling occurs in the same amount of time, is a hallmark of linear growth. A) True B) False 2) Money in a bank account earning compound interest at an annual percentage rate of 3% represents an example of linear growth. A) True B) False 3) Suppose you had a magic bank account in which your balance doubled each day. If you started with just $ 1, you'd be a millionaire in less than a...
