A 67-year-old woman presents with vulvar pruritus for the prior year that has been increasing over the past few months. She established menopause at age 49 years. She has been compliant with HRT since that time. On physical exam, there are velvety, erythematous lesions bilaterally on the vulva, there are also some white plaques. The first step in the management of this patient would be:

A 42-year-old female presents with abnormal uterine bleeding. A hormonal profile reveals increased FSH levels.  The most likely cause for these findings is:

For independent observations  x 1 , x 2 , … x n {“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”\(x_1, x_2, \ldots x_n\)”} of this random variable from a given value of  θ {“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”\(\theta\)”}. Give  θ ^ {“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”\(\hat{\theta}\)”}, the method of moments estimate.

Let  S 1 , … S 10 {“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”\(S_1, \ldots S_{10}\)”} be the lifetime in years of 10 independent HPV viruses. Give the likelihood function  L ( λ | s 1 , … , s 10 ) {“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”\(L(\lambda | s_1, \ldots, s_{10})\)”}.

Find the mean  μ = E X {“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”\(\mu=EX\)”}.

Find the maximum likelihood estimate  λ ^ {“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”\(\hat{\lambda}\)”}.

Find the standard deviation for high temperatures.
