### Results of a Randomized Clinical Trial of a New Vaccine

This table displays the results from a randomized clinical trial evaluating a new vaccine intended to protect against SARS CoV-2 infection. A total of 100,000 adults, who initially tested negative for the infection, participated in the study. The estimates provided are based on a six-month follow-up.

#### Clinical Trial Data:

| Status                      | SARS CoV-2 Positive | SARS CoV-2 Negative | Total Subjects |
|-----------------------------|---------------------|---------------------|----------------|
| **Received Vaccine**        | 10                  | 49,990              | 50,000         |
| **Did not receive vaccine** | 200                 | 49,810              | 50,000         |

#### Explanation of the Table:

- **Received Vaccine**: Out of 50,000 participants who received the vaccine, 10 tested positive for SARS CoV-2, while 49,990 remained negative.
- **Did not receive vaccine**: Out of 50,000 participants who did not receive the vaccine, 200 tested positive, while 49,810 remained negative.

#### Question:

13. What is the relative risk (RR) based on these data?

- **B. RR = 1.00**
- **D. RR = 0.05**
- **A. RR = 20**
- **C. RR = 0.10**

This question prompts the calculation of relative risk to evaluate the vaccine's effectiveness in reducing the infection rate.
