c. Compare the two sets and describe what you discover.

The following data sets shows the ages of the first seven presidents (President Washington through President Jackson) and the seven most recent presidents including President Obama. Age is given at time of inauguration.

First 7: 57 61 57 57 58 57 61

I need help on part C of the question. When it is asking me to compare the two data sets does it want me to calculate something? I am lost on this part.
