1) To calculate the average weights of the two rabbit breed groups, first find the sum of each group and divide by the number of rabbits. For Breed A: (10+8+7+10+9+9+10+9)/8 = 72/8 = 9 lbs. For Breed B: (10+12+14+13+10+15+11+12)/8 = 97/8 = 12.125 lbs. So, the average weight for Breed A is 9 lbs and for Breed B is 12.125 lbs.
2) Factors contributing to the different weights seen within breeds could include genetics, diet and nutrition, age, level of activity, and health status. Some rabbits may naturally have larger body sizes due to their genetic makeup, while others could be influenced by the quality and quantity of their diet, exercise level, or general health conditions.
3) To track and find the growth rate of the two rabbit breeds during an investigation, you would need to collect data over time. You could record each rabbit's weight at regular intervals (e.g., every week or month) and then calculate the change in weight over each time period. By comparing the change in weight and the time elapsed, you could calculate the growth rate in units of weight per unit of time (e.g., pounds per week) for each rabbit breed. Comparing the growth rates would help to identify any differences between the two breeds.
Rabbits are very popular domesticated animals, so popular that there are over 300 breeds of domesticated rabbits in the world. You attend a rabbit show and notice that all of the breeds vary in many characteristics, such as size, color, and fur length. You notice that there is weight information on the cages of all rabbit individuals at the show and decide to jot down data for two specific rabbit breeds (in pounds):
Breed A: 10, 8, 7, 10, 9, 9, 10, 9
Breed B: 10, 12, 14, 13, 10, 15, 11, 12
In three to five sentences, 1) calculate the average weights of the two rabbit breed groups, 2) describe some factors that could contribute to the different weights seen within breeds, and 3) describe how you would track and find the growth rate of the two rabbit breeds during an investigation.
