Let t be the survival time, the number of years a person lives after receiving treatment. The density function giving the distribution of t is p(t) = Ce-Ct for some positive constant C, and the cumulative distribution function is P(t) = , p(x)dx. Think carefully about what the practical meaning of P(t) is, being sure that you can put it into words. a) The survival function, S(t), is the probability that a randomly selected person survives for at least t years. Find a formula for S(t). b) Suppose that a patient has a 80 percent chance of surviving at least 2 years.
