A virus has two variants P and Q. Two treatments L and M were developed against variant P and Q and tested through four independent trials. Treatment L: 44 successes/50 against P, 81 successes/100 against Q, 125/150 total. Treatment M: 94 successes/100 against P, 31 successes/50 against Q, 125/150 total. Assuming both variants are equally prevalent and both treatments cost about the same, but a given patient can be treated with only one treatment, which of the options is/are true?

Question

Accepted Answer

B: If we can determine that the patient is infected by variant Q, treatment L has a higher chance of success | D: If a hospital can stock only one of the two treatments, they should stock treatment L
