Question:
9. AIDS Research Scientists have shown that a newly developed vaccine can shield rhesus monkeys from infection by the SIV virus, a virus closely related to the HIV virus which affects humans. In their work, researchers gave each of n56 rhesus monkeys five inoculations with the SIV vaccine and 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.5 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 5.10.
