Question
In a study of 420,148 cell phone​ users, 136 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 0.005significance 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.
 
 
 
1. What is the test​ statistic?
 
z= _____
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
 
 
2. What is the​ P-value?
 
​P-value= _____
​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)
 
 
3. What is the conclusion on the null​ hypothesis?
 
A. Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is
less than or equal to the significance​ level, α.
 
B. Reject the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is
greater than the significance​ level, α.
 
C. Reject the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is
less than or equal to the significance​ level, α.
 
D. Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the​ P-value is
greater than the significance​ level, α.
 
4. What is the final​ conclusion?
 
A. There is not sufficient evidence to support 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%.
 
B. There is sufficient evidence to support 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%.
 
C. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of 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%.
 
D. There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of 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%.
