To calculate the average weight for Breed A, we sum the weights (10 + 8 + 7 + 10 + 9 + 9 + 10 + 9 = 72) and divide by the number of rabbits (8), resulting in an average weight of 9 pounds. For Breed B, we sum the weights (10 + 12 + 14 + 13 + 10 + 15 + 11 + 12 = 97) and divide by 8, giving an average weight of approximately 12.13 pounds. Factors that could contribute to the different weights seen within breeds include genetics, nutrition, health, and environmental conditions. To track and find the growth rate of the two rabbit breeds, I would monitor their weights at regular intervals (e.g., weekly) over a set period and plot the data on a growth chart to visualize any trends or differences in growth rates between the 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.
