**B)** Let's define the //impact// of a set of genes to be the p-value of a log-rank test that determines whether that gene set is associated with survival .Specifically, the null hypothesis of the log-rank test is that when all of these genes are mutated together, the survival does not change. Write a function ''most.impact()'' that takes as input two ''k1'' and ''n1'' integers, and in the list of ''n1'' most mutated genes, finds the names of the ''k1'' genes with the best impact. Your function should return the names of the best ''k1'' genes (i.e., the set of genes with the best log-rank p-value), and also their impact. Run your function for ''k1=3'', and ''n1=3'', ''10'', and ''100''. What is the biological interpretation of your results? | **B)** Let's define the //impact// of a set of genes to be the p-value of a log-rank test that determines whether that gene set is associated with survival.
