**Exercise 4** The table below gives data on the 1083
participants in a vaccine trail. Of the 549 patients who received
the vaccine, 11 developed type B hepatitis. Of the 534 patients who
did not receive the vaccine, 70 developed the virus. Do these data
indicate that there is a different rate of incidence of hepatitis
between vaccinated and not vaccinated participants?
