2)You conducted a study to test the hypothesis that being vaccinated at the beginning of the winter reduces the chance of contracting the flue. You found that 35% of the non-vaccinated participants contracted the flue while only 28% of the vaccinated participants got sick.
The results of a one-sided t-test indicated a p-value of 0.03.
Assuming that the test you conducted is the most appropriate to the question and the data, which of the following statements describes best the correct interpretation of this P-value:
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.
iv.None of the above.
