Suppose we ignored right-censoring in our sample by treating individuals as having died at the censoring time. Is there bias in our estimate of the survival curve? If so, in what direction?

In the scenarios below, the log-rank test would have the lowest statistical power for [q1]. A weighted log-rank test would have the greatest increase in power over the unweighted log-rank test for [q2], and an unweighted log-rank test would have the highest power relative to a weighted test in [q3].

True or false: Our tiebreaking procedures assume that tied failure times are due to rounding from non-constant monitoring rather than being true ties.

Griffith’s transformation experiments demonstrated that combining heat-killed bacterium strain S (smooth capsule and lethal) with bacterium strain R (rough capsule and non-lethal) transformed strain R into the lethal strain S. Which of the following treatments before combining the two strains would provide evidence that DNA is the genetic material?

Assume that daily high temperatures in Orlando are normally distributed with a mean of μ = 82 degrees and a standard deviation σ = 6. Find the probability that a randomly selected day has a high temperature that is more than 95 degrees. p = _____ MUST use Statcrunch

It is believed that a certain percentage of U.S. homes have direct satellite television receivers. Your team of researchers wants to find out more about this. How large a sample is necessary to estimate the true population proportion of homes with direct satellite television receivers with 99​% confidence and within 3% points of the true population percentage? Complete parts​ (a) and​ (b) below. a. Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of homes that have a direct satellite television receiver. n= [a] b. Assume that a prior survey suggests that about 37​% of homes have a direct satellite television receiver. n= [b] MUST use Statcrunch
