16 of 7 GardasilTM is a highly effective vaccine for preventing persistent infections of human papillomavirus (HPV) and associated cases of cervical cancer or lesions. During phase II clinical trials, studies showed that among 2725 patients who received placebo, 126 patients developed symptoms of HPV-type external genital lesions (EGL). First, compute the risk of developing EGL among trial patients who did not receive the Gardasil vaccine. Report your answer to four decimal places. risk = Then, compute the odds of developing EGL in this same population of study participants. Report your answer to four decimal places. odds = 16 of 7 GardasilTM is a highly effective vaccine for preventing persistent infections of human papillomavirus (HPV) and associated cases of cervical cancer or lesions.
