  • Using the aflatoxin data in the faraway package. Fit a logistic regression model for the number of animals with liver cancer as a function of the dose.Comment and discuss in detail on the statistical significance of the model.








  • Calculate the predicted probability of liver cancer for a dose of 25 ppb.Can you find a 95% confidence interval for this value.If so report it and give any detailed insights you may have.





  • Now calculate it at 80% confidence interval and report the findings.

1. The summary of the model shows that the estimated effect of the dose of aflatoxin on the probability of liver cancer is not statistically significant (p-value = 0.997). This means that the model does not have strong evidence to support that there is an association between the dose of aflatoxin and the probability of liver cancer. The deviance residuals are small, indicating a good fit of the model. The AIC of the model is 4 which is relatively low, indicating a good model.
2. The output you provided shows the results of predicting the probability of liver cancer for a dose of 25 ppb and finding the 95% and 80% confidence intervals for this prediction.The predicted probability of liver cancer for a dose of 25 ppb is 1, which means that the model is predicting that all animals with a dose of 25 ppb will develop liver cancer.
The 95% confidence interval for this prediction,...
