In a study of 420,017 cell phone users,180 subjects developed brain cancer. Test the claim that cell phone users develop brain cancer 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 0.005 significance level. Use this information to answer the following questions. What is the test​ statistic? What is the​ P-value?
