  1. A) The probability of surviving 1 year after being diagnosed with a slow-progressing form of prostate cancer is .85.

  2. B) The probability of surviving 1 year after being diagnosed with a slow-progressing form of prostate cancer is .85 for the individuals being followed in this study.

  3. C) The probability of surviving 1 year after being diagnosed with a slow-progressing form of prostate cancer is .85 for individuals who decided against all forms of treatment.

  4. D) The probability of surviving 1 year after being diagnosed with a slow-progressing form of prostate cancer is .85 for the individuals being followed in this study and for individuals who decided against all forms of treatment.
