According to the American Dental Association, 60% of all dentists use nitrous oxide in their practice. In a random sample of 600 dentists, what is the probability that at least 57% of those dentists use nitrous oxide in their practice? b) Suppose that you take a random of 120 Americans, what is the probability that 8 % or more of these 120 people have diabetes?

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.)
