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, 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 design and find support for an experiment to determine the growth rate of the two rabbit breeds.

Answer 1

Answer:

breed a has an average of 9 pounds

breed b has an average of 12.125 or 12 (rounded) pounds

Factors you may describe could be, food sources, environment, and climate could have changes in the characteristics of different breeds.

Having controlled factors, having 2 baby rabbits of the same breeds and monitoring the same food and water, observations and data can be collected, done multiple times data can be complied and used to theorize
