i.There is a 3 % chance that vaccinated people will get sick.
ii.There is a 3 % chance that the vaccination has no effect.
iii.If vaccination has no real effect, there is still a probability of 0.03 that the % of sick people obtaining a vaccination will be at lease 7 % lower than that of participants that were not vaccinated.
