If we assume that the use of cell phones has no effect on developing such cancer, then the probability of a person having such a cancer is 0.000340. a. Assuming that cell phones have no effect on developing cancer, find the mean and standard deviation for the numbers of people in groups of 420,095 that can be expected to have cancer of the brain or nervous system. b.

What do these results suggest about the publicized concern that cell phones are a health danger because they increase the risk of cancer of the brain or nervous system?
