In a study in pre-term infants, a group where breast feeding is difficult because the mother gets home before the baby does, you run a logistic regression model where the independent variable is the
mother's age and the dependent variable is whether the infant was breast feeding at discharge from the hospital.
If the log odds for breast feeding for a 20 year old mom was -3.654 + (20) * 0.157 = -0.514, compute the predicted probability for breast feeding for a 20 year old mom.
0.598 / (1+0.598)
O 0.598
0.598 / (1 - 0.598)
-0.514 / (1+0.598)
An insurance company sells 40% of its renters policies to home renters and the remaining 60% to apartment renters. Among home renters, the time from policy purchase until policy cancellation has an exponential distribution with mean 4 years, and among apartment renters, it has an exponential distribution with mean 2 years.
Calculate the probability that the policyholder is a home renter, given that a renter still has a policy one year after purchase.

Suppose that the number of miles that a car can run before its battery wears out is exponentially distributed with an average value of 10,000 miles. If a person desires to take a 5,000-mile trip, what is the probability that he or she will be able to complete the trip without having to replace the car battery? What can be said when the distribution is not exponential?

- For the 23 space shuttle flights before the Challenger mission disaster in 1986, The following table shows the temperature (◦F) at the time of the flight and whether at least one primary O-ring suffered thermal distress. Use logistic regression to model the effect of temperature on the probability of thermal distress. Interpret the effect. Estimate the probability of thermal distress at 31◦F, the temperature at the time of the Challenger flight. At what temperature does the estimated probability equal 0.50? At that temperature, give a linear approximation for the change in the estimated probability per degree increase in temperature. Interpret the effect of temperature on the odds of thermal distress. Test the hypothesis that temperature has no effect, using (i) the Wald test, (ii) the likelihood-ratio test.arrow_forwardLooking across the first row, is the odds ratio for females significantly different than 1 in any category?
