If individuals are asked to rate the effectiveness of condoms in preventing the transmission of HIV (the virus that causes AIDS), they would be most likely to rate a condom as effective if they were told:
      a.   that the condom has a 95 percent success rate in protecting against the HIV.
      b.   that only 5 condom users out of every 100 are not protected against the HIV.
      c.   that the condom has a 5 percent failure rate in protecting against the HIV.
   d.   It does not matter, because all of the other options describe the same statistical effectiveness.
