Rabbits are very popular demosticated animals, so popular that there are over 300 breeds of demosticated rabbits in the world. U attend a rabbit show and notice that all of the breed vary in many chracteristics, such as size, color and fur length. U notice there is weight information on the cages of all rabbits individuals at the show and decide to jot down data for two specific rabbit breeds. ( In pounds ):

Question

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 with breeds, and 3) describe how u would track and fine the growth rate the two rabbit breeds during an investigation.

1) To calculate the average weights of the two rabbit breed groups, we sum the weights and then divide by the number of rabbits in each group. For Breed A: (10 + 8 + 7 + 10 + 9 + 9 + 10 + 9) / 8 = 9.0 pounds. For Breed B: (10 + 12 + 14 + 13 + 10 + 15 + 11 + 12) / 8 = 12.125 pounds. 2) Factors contributing to the different weights seen between the breeds could include genetics, diet, environment, and age. Breed A may tend to be smaller due to its genetic predisposition, while Breed B might be larger due to selective breeding for size, better nutrition, or living conditions that promote growth. 3) To track and determine the growth rate of the two rabbit breeds during an investigation, I would record the initial weights of each rabbit and then take measurements at regular intervals (e.g., weekly or biweekly). By calculating the difference between each measurement and the initial weight, I could determine the growth rate for each breed over time, helping to identify any trends related to weight gain.
