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. make it short write it like a 4th grader

To find the average weight of the rabbits, we add up all their weights and then divide by how many rabbits there are. For Breed A, the weights are 10, 8, 7, 10, 9, 9, 10, and 9. If we add those up, we get 72, and with 8 rabbits, the average is 72 divided by 8, which equals 9 pounds. For Breed B, the weights are 10, 12, 14, 13, 10, 15, 11, and 12. Adding those gives us 97, and with 8 rabbits, the average is 97 divided by 8, which equals about 12.13 pounds.

The different weights could happen because some rabbits are bigger by nature (breeding), and also what they eat can make a difference. To track how much the rabbits are growing, I would weigh them every week and keep a record. This way, I can see how much heavier they get over time!
