In a study of 484,464 cell phone users, it was found that 156 developed cancer of the brain or
nervous system. Assuming that cell phones have no effect, there is a 0.000376 probability of a
person developing cancer of the brain or nervous system. We therefore expect about 183
cases of such cancer in a group of 484,464 people. Estimate the probability of 156 or fewer
cases of such cancer in a group of 484,464 people. What do these results suggest about media
reports that cell phones cause cancer of the brain or nervous system?
(a) P(x≤156) =
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
(b) What does the result from part (a) suggest about the media reports?
A. The media reports appear to be incorrect because one would expect that more than
183 cell phone users would develop cancer. In fact, the study may offer significant
evidence to suggest that cell phone use decreases the probability of developing
cancer.
B. The media reports appear to be correct because one would expect that more than…

- Suzanne Zeedyk, a developmental psychologist at Dundee University’s School of Psychology, conducted a pilot study in which parents started out a half-hour walk with their infants in a parent-facing or an away-facing stroller and switched midway to the other type. Her results suggest that parents talked less to the babies and the babies had higher heart rates, and were less likely to fall asleep, in away-facing compared with parent-facing strollers. A stroller manufacturer investigates whether there are differences in expressive vocabularies between babies who travel in parent-facing strollers and babies who travel in away-facing strollers. It randomly assigns 17 newborns to parent-facing strollers and 17 newborns to away-facing strollers. When the babies are 24 months old, their expressive vocabularies are tested using the the Expressive Vocabulary Test (EVT). The sample means and sums of squares of the scores for each of the groups are presented in the table that follows.
