Question
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,

calculate the average weights of the two rabbit breed groups,
describe some factors that could contribute to the different weights seen within breeds, and
describe how you would track and find the growth rate of the two rabbit breeds during an investigation.

The average weight of Breed A is 9 pounds (72 ÷ 8) and Breed B is about 12.1 pounds (97 ÷ 8). Differences within a breed can come from age, sex, genetics, diet, health, activity level, or even small measurement errors. To track growth I would weigh the same rabbits at regular intervals (like once a week), always using the same scale and conditions, and record the data. Then I’d plot weight versus time and calculate the growth rate as the slope (change in weight divided by change in time) or the average weekly weight gain to compare the breeds.
