In a study of 229 comma 611 cell phone users, it was found that 53 developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Assuming that cell phones have no effect, there is a 0.000308 probability of a person developing cancer of the brain or nervous system. We therefore expect about 71 cases of such cancer in a group of 229 comma 611 people. Estimate the probability of 53 or fewer cases of such cancer in a group of 229 comma 611 people. What do these results suggest about media reports that cell phones cause cancer of the brain or nervous system?
