b. Identify the test statistic 

c. The P-value for this hypothesis test is

In a study of 420,093 cell phone users, 100 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.
