Answer:

a,Answer: Type I right censoring, censoring time = 60.

b.This is called an Interval censoring,

c.this is called Random censoring because the year in consideration was chosen at random, censoring time = 61.

d.The observations are left truncated respectively at age 30, 40, 50 and 42.

e.L\alpha \frac{S(60)}{S(30)} *\frac{S(52)-S(55)}{S(40)} *\frac{S(61)}{S(42)} *\frac{S(55)}{S(50)}

Explanation:

a) A healthy individual, enrolled in the study at age 30, never developed

breast cancer during the study.

Answer: Type I censoring, censoring time = 60.

(b) A healthy individual, enrolled in the study at age 40, was diagnosed

with breast cancer at the fifth exam after enrollment (i.e., the disease

started sometime between 12 and 15 years after enrollment).

THis is called an Interval censoring,

if the clinical exams is conducted every three years , then 3*4=12, and 3*5=15

add this to 40 years respectively, we have

censoring time = (52, 55]

c) A healthy individual, enrolled in the study at age 50, died from a

cause unrelated to the disease (i.e., not diagnosed with breast cancer

at any time during the study) at age 61.

this is called Random censoring because the year in consideration was chosen at random, censoring time = 61.

(d) An individual, enrolled in the study at age 42, moved away from

the community at age 55 and was never diagnosed with breast cancer

during the period of observation.

Random censoring, censoring time = 55.

The observations are left truncated respectively at age 30, 40, 50 and 42.

e.  Confining your attention to the four individuals described above,

write down the likelihood for this portion of the study.

L\alpha \frac{S(60)}{S(30)} *\frac{S(52)-S(55)}{S(40)} *\frac{S(61)}{S(42)} *\frac{S(55)}{S(50)}  

the above represent the likelihood

Explain the factors that contribute to the success of class insecta. ​
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

It is believed that insects are so successful because they have a protective shell or exoskeleton, they are small, and they can fly. Their small size and ability to fly permits escape from enemies and dispersal to new environments. ... In addition, insects can produce large numbers of offspring relatively quickly.

A inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase would: a) interfere with oxygen binding to hemoglobin. b) increase blood pH. c) increase the a
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

All the answers are correct

Explanation:

An inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase would  interfere with oxygen binding to hemoglobin, increase blood pH due to increased H+,  increase the amount of bicarbonate formed in the blood and decrease the amount of carbon dioxide dissolved in plasma.

Carbonic anhydrase catalyses the reaction between carbon dioxide and water to form carbonic acid. Carbonic acid dissociates to form hydrogen carbonate ions and hydrogen ions. The hydrogen ions combine with haemoglobin to form weak haemoglobinic acid.
