Question 1. Create one research question and select a data set to test your research question. Your research question should be one of the two types outlined in “Data and Research Questions.” Note that the data set should align with the research question and contains at least 20 observations. State the research question and data source. Research question: Is the mean of antibiotics used in canine procedures greater than the use of antibiotics in feline procedures in veterinary practices across the United States?
