Therefore, we can conclude that less people of test group two's influence are infected" simply because it is a lower number.
In terms of per capita, both test groups are equal in infection rate because 20% of test subjects from each group tested positive.
To be simply put, stop looking at it in terms of numbers and look at it in terms of percentages. Which percentage is higher? To be clear, I am NOT taking sides because I haven't done personal research.
