Question 1 Suppose the fraction of a cohort of AIDS patients that survives a time t after AIDS diagnosis is given by S(t) = exp(kt). Show that the average survival time Taver after AIDS diagnosis for a member of this cohort is given by the following function. (Enter your answers in terms of t and k.) -dN(t)] dN(t)] Question 2 What fraction of the cohort survived 2 years after AIDS diagnosis? (Round your answer to five decimal places.) Question 3 The fraction of a cohort of AIDS patients that survives a time t after AIDS diagnosis is given by S(t) exp(kt). The time it takes for S(t) to reach the value of 0.5 is defined as the survival half-life and denoted by T /2* S(T1/2=[ so that k m T1/2 Thus, S(t)= exp(=kt) = 1/2 -t/T/2 2-t/1/2.
