Suppose that a pharmaceutical company claims that it has a new cure for the flu, and that %96 of flu sufferers will fully recover within 24 hours of taking the drug. As a first test on the claim, a clinic will give the drug to 25 people diagnosed with the flu and check on their condition 24 hours later. Suppose that company’s claim is perfectly accurate. 1. Let random variable X be the number of people tested who will recover...

12. Suppose 500 athletes are tested for a drug, one in twenty has used the drug, the test has a 98% specificity and the test has a 100% sensitivity. That is, the probability of a false positive is 2% and there is no chance that the user of the drug will go undetected. Construct a tree diagram showing the probabilities associated with this problem. Write a probability on each branch (6 branches). Multiply the the probabilities along each path and...

In a crossover trial comparing a new drug to a standard, π denotes the probability that the new one is judged better. It is desired to estimate π and test H0 : π = 0.5 against H1 : π =/= 0.5. In 20 independent observations, the new drug is better each time. (a) Find and PLOT(I can't figure out how to plot it) the likelihood function, but I know it's. Give the ML estimate of π. (b) Conduct a Wald...

Some parts of California are particularly earthquake prone. Suppose that in one metropolitan area, the chance a homeowner is insured against an earthquake is 0.30, A sample of four homeowners are to be selected at random. Suppose X is a random variable that is modeled by a binomial distribution which describes the number of homeowners out of the four that have earthquake insurance. (a) Find the probability mass function of X. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)...

Imagine that a researcher develops a new cancer drug that shrinks tumors, which she measures using an MRI. The researcher needs to determine if the new drug performs differently from, or the same as, the current gold-standard drug therapy which shrinks tumor diameter by an average of 0.1 mm. After performing an experiment to test the new drug on a group of 6399 cancer patients, the researcher analyzes the measurements of tumor shrinkage by using a one-sample ?z‑test for a...

The probability of a new drug working in a patient in a clinical trial is modeled as P ∼ Unif([0, 1]). The drug is then given to patients one at a time, and you observe that the seventh patient is the first patient in which the drug works. That is, if X is a random variable denoting the first patient in which the drug worked, then [X|P] ∼ Geom(P), and you observed X = 7. Conditioned on this information that...
