4/ A public health researcher examines the medical records of a group of 837 men who died in 1998 and discovers that 220 of the men died from causes related to heart disease. Moreover, 300 of the 837 men had at least one parent who suffered from heart disease, and, of these 300 men, 92 died from causes related to heart disease. Determine the probability that a man randomly selected from this group died of causes related to heart disease, given that neither of his parents suffered from heart disease.

In a survey of 1002 people, 701 said that they voted in a recent presidential election (based on data from ICR research group). Voting records show that 61 percent of eligible voters actually did vote.

In a study of 235,722 cell phone users, it was found that 109 developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Assuming that cell phones have no effect, there is a 0.000477 probability of a person developing cancer of the brain or nervous system. We therefore expect about 113 cases of such cancer in a group of 235,722 people. Estimate the probability of 109 or fewer cases of such cancer in a group of 235,722 people. What do these results suggest about media reports that cell phones cause cancer of the brain or nervous system? (a) P(x ≤ 109) = (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
