BACKGROUND & METHODS The relationship between stress and breast cancer has been examined in many epidemiological studies, the results of which have yielded mixed results. One reason for these differences is the use of different measures of stress. For example, death of a spouse or close relative is a major acute stressor, whereas stress experienced in daily life is more moderate and chronic in nature. As these different types of stress likely have different physiological and psychological impacts, the observed...

3. (4 pts) The National Cancer Institute conducted a 2-year study to determine whether cancer death rates for areas near nuclear power plants are higher than areas without nuclear facilities. A spokesperson for the institute said "From the data at hand, there was no convincing evidence of any increased risk of death from any of the cancers surveyed due to living near nuclear facilities. However, no study can prove the absence of an affect." Let po be the proportion of...
