Consider
a study to compare two antibiotics for treating strep throat in children, amoxicillin
and cefadroxil. At one clinic for this study, 23 children (who met the study
entrance criteria and for whom consent was given) were randomly assigned to
one of the two treatment groups. One concern is that age of the child might
influence the effectiveness of the antibiotics. The ages of the children in
each treatment group are given. Calculate the mean, median, and mode of the
ages for each of the two treatment groups.

Amoxicillin Group (n = 11) AGE: 14 17 11 10 11 14 9
12 8 10 9. Give you answer separated by commas. For example, 3, 6, 9 for mean,
median, and mode, respectively.
Cefadroxil Group (n = 12) AGE: 9 14 8 10 13 7 9 11
16 10 12 9. Give you answer separated by commas.
For example, 3, 6, 9 for mean, median, and mode, respectively.
How do the two groups compare with respect to age?
