Case Study: A vaccine for COVID-19 has just finished its final trial, and the results are quite promising, according to researchers at Broadway University. In a randomized control experiment, 100 volunteers were evenly divided. One group was given the vaccine, the other group was given saline solution. After one month, 20 members of the group having been given the vaccine developed antibodies to fight the virus. 15 members of the other group had developed antibodies. There is, therefore, a 95% likelihood that the vaccine will be effective in the general population. Evaluate the abovementioned argument by answering the following questions:

Question 1. What is the causal claim at issue?

Question 2. What is the target population?

Question 3. What type of investigation is described?

Question 4. What is the frequency of the effect in the experimental and control groups?

Question 5. Are the findings statistically significant?

Question 6. Is the conclusion drawn justified by the results of the experiment?
