A nationwide survey conducted by the National Cancer Society revealed the following information. Of 10,000 people surveyed 3,200 were “heavy coffee drinkers”, and 160 of those surveyed had cancer of the pancreas. Of those who had cancer of the pancreas, 132 were heavy coffee drinkers. Using the data in this survey, determine whether the events “being a heavy coffee drinker” and “having cancer of the pancreas” are independent events.

2-Proportion Test

In a 2-proportion test, two separate proportions are measured at the same time, and their similarity is evaluated. It is also known as a 2-proportion z-test, and a comparison of two different proportions is done in this method.

A letter is taken at random out of "ASSISTANT" and out of "STATISTICS". What is the chance that they are the same letters?
In an article that appears on a website,† Carlton Gunn, a public defender in Seattle, Washington, wrote about how he uses statistics in his work as an attorney. He states the following. I personally have used statistics in trying to challenge the reliability of drug testing results. Suppose the chance of a mistake in the taking and processing of a urine sample for a drug test is just 1 in 100. And your client has a "dirty" (i.e., positive) test result. Only a 1 in 100 chance that it could be wrong? Not necessarily. If the vast majority of all tests given—say 99 in 100—are truly clean, then you get one false dirty and one true dirty in every 100 tests, so that half of the dirty tests are false. Define the following events as given below. TD = event that the test result is dirty TC = event that the test result is clean D = event that the person tested is actually dirty C = event that the person tested is actually clean (a) Using the information in the quote, compute the following…
Suppose that 82% of the adult between the ages of 18 and 34 watch reality TV shows. Suppose you take a random sample of 3 persons. What is the probability that none of them watch reality TV shows? What is the probability that at least one watches reality TV shows? What is the probability 2 or more watch reality TV shows? If you were to randomly sample 1000 adults between 18 and 34 years of age in the U.S, how many of them do you expect to watch reality TV shows?

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.)
