During the development process of a vaccine for the newly discovered Sars-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus, pharmaceutical companies developed two potential vaccine candidates, BNT162b2 and Ad26.COV2. Some researchers postulated that BNT162b2 will be more effective than Ad26.COV2 because only BNT162b2 directly targets the protein-manufacturing mechanisms in the cell.To test this claim, researchers proposed an experiment in which data will be collected about the efficacy of the two vaccine candidates. In the proposed study, two groups of mice will be randomly assigned one of the vaccine candidates and then infected with the virus. Data about the severity of symptoms in each group will then be collected.Which of the following describes a potential method for measuring the dependent variable in this experimental design?A. measure the amount of virus administered to each group B. measure the time between vaccine administration and virus infection in each group C. measure the amount of vaccine administered to each group D. measure the number of patient fatalities following vaccine administration in each group

Question

During the development process of a vaccine for the newly discovered Sars-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus, pharmaceutical companies developed two potential vaccine candidates, BNT162b2 and Ad26.COV2. Some researchers postulated that BNT162b2 will be more effective than Ad26.COV2 because only BNT162b2 directly targets the protein-manufacturing mechanisms in the cell.

To test this claim, researchers proposed an experiment in which data will be collected about the efficacy of the two vaccine candidates. In the proposed study, two groups of mice will be randomly assigned one of the vaccine candidates and then infected with the virus. Data about the severity of symptoms in each group will then be collected.

Which of the following describes a potential method for measuring the dependent variable in this experimental design?

A. measure the amount of virus administered to each group
B. measure the time between vaccine administration and virus infection in each group
C. measure the amount of vaccine administered to each group
D. measure the number of patient fatalities following vaccine administration in each group

Expert Solution

Step 1

Ad26.COV2 vaccine which have a high efficiency against COVID-19 in the pivotal trial. it's effectiveness in the general population against COVID-19 hospitalization was approximately 68%. BNT162b2 vaccine was also most widely administrated. This vaccine is highly effective across all age group. It helps preventing symptomatic and asymptomatic infection and COVID-19 related hospitalization.
