U.S. Food and Drug Administration. An ice cream company wishes to use a new red dye to enhance the color in its strawberry ice cream. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires the dye to be tested for cancer-producing potential using laboratory rats. The results of one test on 1 , 000 rats are summarized in the following table (A) Convert the table into a probability table by dividing each entry by 1 , 000 . (B) Are “developing cancer” and “eating red dye” independent events? (C) Should the FDA approve or ban the use of the dye? Explain why or why not using P C R and P C .
