Q.no: 9
A study of the mortality of 12 laboratory-bred insects was undertaken. The insects were observed from birth until either they died or the period of study ended, at which point those insects still alive were treated as censored.
The following table shows the Product-Limit estimate of the survival function, based on data from the 12 insects.
t (weeks) S(t)
0 t < 1 1.0000
1 t < 3 0.9167
3 t < 6 0.7130
6 t 0.4278
ii) Calculate the number of insects dying at durations 3 and 6 weeks.
Can anyone please help me solving this question.
Thank you.
