In a study of 420,074 cell phone users, 139 subjects developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Test the claim of a somewhat common belief that such cancers are affected by cell phone use. That is, test the claim that cell phone users develop cancer of the brain or nervous system at a rate that is different from the rate of 0.0340% for people who do not use cell phones. Because this issue has such great importance, use a 0.001 significance level. Identify the null hypothesis. alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the P-value method and the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. A. Ho: p=0.00034 H₂: p=0.00034 OC Ho: p=0.00034 H₁ p<0.00034 E Ho: p=0.00034 H₂ p>0.00034 What is the test statistic? (Round to two decimal places as needed) B. Ho: p>0.00034 H₁: p=0.00034 12. Ho p<0.00034 Hy: p=0.00034 Ho: p=0.00034 Hy: p=0.00034
