In the colon cancer data base, we also give the survival times for both male and female patients. From the male data base draw a random sample of n = 60 survival times and proceed to perform the same analysis as you did in Exercise 7.5.11.
Exercise 7.5.11
(a) Structure a histogram of the 60 measurement of the tumor sizes in mm.
(b) Let part a) guide you, if possible in performing goodness-of-fit testing at a = 0.05 to identify the best possible pdf that characterizes the probabilistic behavior of the tumor sizes.
(c) Write the pdf completely with appropriate parameter estimates and obtain and interpret its expected value.
