a. Calculate the mean and standard deviation for each of the two drugs.

b. Based on the sample means calculated in part a, which drug appears to be effective longer?

c. Based on the sample standard deviations calculated in part a, which drug appears to have the greater variability in effect time?

d. Calculate the sample coefficient of variation for the two drugs. Based on the coefficient of variation, which drug has the greater variability in its time until the effect is neutralized?
