Answer:

No, unless the hiker acted negligently in attempting to cross the ice.

Explanation:

Negligence

This is simply regarded as when an individual alter or breach the legal duty expected of them to take care by the defendant that has brought about loss to the person laying the claim.

Duty

This is simply known as caring for people in general, it is the extent of care which an individual would use under the same or similar circumstances to protect themselves and others from injury.

For a person to claim in negligence and wins, several factors must be handled. such as

1. Loss or damage of known effect sustained by the claimant

2. The existence of a sense of care owed by the defendant to the claimant

3. Breach of that duty by the defendant

4. Proof that the breach caused the damage etc

 in some cases.  there are other reasons where courts have determined that the defendant does not owe any duty, or owes only a limited duty, it includes  

1. when there are liability cases that is the plaintiff is injured by a condition on the defendant's property.

2. If the defendant's negligence is due to inability to help or rescue the plaintiff. etc.

In this case, the hiker helped as soon as the incidence happens.

How are the goods exported from the Caribbean during the colonial period different from the goods exported from the Caribbean to
Dima020 [189]

During the colonial era, molasses, sugarcane, and slaves were all exported. Today, exports include products like spices, cocoa, citrus fruits, and bananas. While during the colonial era all the goods were food, slaves were also brought together with the food.

<h3>What did the colonies import and export?</h3>

International trade was essential to the colonial economy. Products like lumber, tobacco, rice, and dried fish were shipped to Britain by American ships. In exchange, America received textiles and manufactured commodities from the mother nation.

The "triangular trade" system, which involved trade between Europe, Africa, Brazil, and the Caribbean, and North America, included the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Historically, ships that transported luxury items to North America from the Caribbean after delivering slaves from Africa did so.

How to put survival in study when subjects are added in 10 months period?
Evgen [1.6K]
Learning Objectives

After completing this module, the student will be able to:

<span>Identify applications with time to event outcomesConstruct a life table using the actuarial approachConstruct a life table using the Kaplan-Meier approachPerform and interpret the log rank testCompute and interpret a hazard ratioInterpret coefficients in Cox proportional hazards regression analysis</span>

Time to Event Variables

There are unique features of time to event variables. First, times to event are always positive and their distributions are often skewed. For example, in a study assessing time to relapse in high risk patients, the majority of events (relapses) may occur early in the follow up with very few occurring later. On the other hand, in a study of time to death in a community based sample, the majority of events (deaths) may occur later in the follow up. Standard statistical procedures that assume normality of distributions do not apply. Nonparametric procedures could be invoked except for the fact that there are additional issues. Specifically, complete data (actual time to event data) is not always available on each participant in a study. In many studies, participants are enrolled over a period of time (months or years) and the study ends on a specific calendar date. Thus, participants who enroll later are followed for a shorter period than participants who enroll early. Some participants may drop out of the study before the end of the follow-up period (e.g., move away, become disinterested) and others may die during the follow-up period (assuming the outcome of interest is not death).

In each of these instances, we have incomplete follow-up information. True survival time (sometimes called failure time) is not known because the study ends or because a participant drops out of the study before experiencing the event. What we know is that the participants survival time is greater than their last observed follow-up time. These times are called censored times.

Censoring

There are several different types of censoring. The most common is called right censoring and occurs when a participant does not have the event of interest during the study and thus their last observed follow-up time is less than their time to event. This can occur when a participant drops out before the study ends or when a participant is event free at the end of the observation period.

In the first instance, the participants observed time is less than the length of the follow-up and in the second, the participant's observed time is equal to the length of the follow-up period. These issues are illustrated in the following examples.

 

Example:

A small prospective study is run and follows ten participants for the development of myocardial infarction (MI, or heart attack) over a period of 10 years. Participants are recruited into the study over a period of two years and are followed for up to 10 years. The graphic below indicates when they enrolled and what subsequently happened to them during the observation period.

During the study period, three participants suffer myocardial infarction (MI), one dies, two drop out of the study (for unknown reasons), and four complete the 10-year follow-up without suffering MI. The figure below shows the same data, but shows survival time starting at a common time zero (i.e., as if all participants enrolled in the study at the same time).
