Suppose it was reported on the news that a recent study concluded that the probability that you will get brain cancer if you use a cell phone doubled from 1 in 460,000 to 1 in 230,000. Choose the statement that best summarizes the significance of this result. Justify your answer.
a. Many would say that this result does not have clinical or statistical significance because the probabilities are so small that they are meaningless.
b. Although this result may have clinical significance, it does not have statistical signifi- cance since the probability that you will get brain cancer if you use a cell phone is still so small that it is unlikely to have a meaningful effect on lives.
c. Many would say that this result has both clinical and statistical significance because the probability more than doubled and this result could have a significant impact on lives.
d. Although this result may have statistical significance, it does not have clinical signifi- cance since the probability that you will get brain cancer if you use cell phone is still so small that it is unlikely to have a meaningful effect on lives.
e. All of the above
