The paper "Living Near Nuclear Power Plants and Thyroid Cancer Risks"† investigated whether living near a nuclear power plant increases the risk of thyroid cancer. The authors of this paper concluded that there was no evidence of increased risk of thyroid cancer in areas that were near a nuclear power plant. (a) Let p denote the proportion of the population in areas near nuclear power plants who are diagnosed with thyroid cancer during a given year. The researchers who wrote this paper might have considered the two rival hypotheses of the form below. H0: p is equal to the corresponding value for areas without nuclear power plants Ha: p is greater than the corresponding value for areas without nuclear power plants Did the researchers reject H0or fail to reject H0?The researchers rejected H0. The researchers failed to reject H0. (b) If the researchers are incorrect in their conclusion that there is no evidence of increased risk of thyroid cancer associated with living near a nuclear…
