Question

2. 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

Answer 1

To analyze this data, we can calculate the average weight of each breed.

For Breed A:
(10 + 8 + 7 + 10 + 9 + 9 + 10 + 9) / 8 = 72 / 8 = 9 pounds (average weight of Breed A)

For Breed B:
(10 + 12 + 14 + 13 + 10 + 15 + 11 + 12) / 8 = 97 / 8 = 12.125 pounds (average weight of Breed B)

Based on this data, we can see that Breed A has an average weight of 9 pounds, while Breed B has an average weight of 12.125 pounds. This shows that Breed B tends to be larger and heavier compared to Breed A in this sample.
