In a study of 483,277 cell phone users, it was found that 154 developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Assuming that cell phones have no effect, there is a 0.000328 probability of a person developing cancer of the brain or nervous
system. We therefore expect about 159 cases of such cancer in a group of 483,277 people. Estimate the probability of 154 or fewer cases of such cancer in a group of 483,277 people. What do these results suggest about media reports that cell
phones cause cancer of the brain or nervous system?
