Question
In a study of 420,072 cell phone users, 148 subjects developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Test the claim of a somewhat common belief that such cancers are affected by cell phone use. That is, test the claim that cell phone users develop cancer of the brain or nervous system at a rate that is different from the rate of 0.0340% for people who do not use cell phones. Because this issue has such great importance, use a 0.001 significance level. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method and the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. Which of the following is the hypothesis test to be conducted? A. Ho:p=0.00034 H1: p>0.00034 ° C. Ho: p 0.00034 H1 : p = 0.00034 OD. Ho:p#0.00034 H1 : p = 0.00034 OF. Ho:p=0.00034 H4 pExplanation / Answer
