15.70 AIDS Research Scientists have shown that a newly developed vaccine can shield rhesus monkeys from infection
Question:
15.70 AIDS Research Scientists have shown that a newly developed vaccine can shield rhesus monkeys from infection by a virus closely related to the AIDS-causing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In their work, Ronald C. Resrosiers and his colleagues gave each of n = 6 rhesus monkeys five inoculations with the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) vaccine. One week after the last vaccination, each monkey received an injection of live SIV. Two of the six vaccinated monkeys showed no evidence of SIV infection for as long as a year and a half after the SIV injection.' Scientists were able to isolate the SIV virus from the other four vaccinated monkeys, although these animals showed no sign of the disease. Does this information contain sufficient evidence to indicate that the vaccine is effective in protecting monkeys from SIV? Use a 0.10.
