A pilot study was designed to evaluate the potential efficacy of a program designed to reduce prison recidivism amongst inmates who have a documented long-term history of drug and/or alcohol problems.A sample of 11 prisoners was followed for up to 24 months after their most recent release from prison.Six of the inmates returned to prison at 3, 7 9, 11, 14 and 21 months respectively.Five of the inmates had not returned to prison as of the last time they were last contacted which was at 4, 8, 16, 24, and 24 months respectively.

Use the Kaplan Meier approach to estimate the survival curve for this set of inmates

(which tracks the proportion who have not yet returned to prison over time).It will be

helpful to construct a table like the ones appearing in lecture 5: however, all you will

need to report in the quiz generator are certain quantities from this table for specific

times.

a.What is the estimated proportion of the entire cohort (the starting sample of 11 prisoners) sample who had not returned to prison by 7 months after enrolling in the study?

b.What is the estimated proportion of the entire cohort (the starting sample of 11 prisoners) sample who had not returned to prison by 11 months after enrolling in the study?

c.What is the estimated proportion of persons who did not return to prison at 11 months among onlythose who were still at risk of returning to prison at 11 months?

d.What is the estimated proportion of the entire cohort (the starting sample of 11 prisoners) whohad not returnedto prison by 16 months after enrolling in the study?
