a. Use the Internet to research the average weight, the average lifespan, and the average gestation and/or incubation period for each chosen animal.

b. Create one chart that displays all of your collected data. Your chart should include the following:

→the name of each animal;

→the average weight of each animal;

→the average lifespan of each animal; and

→the average gestation and/or incubation period of each animal.

c. Create a graph for the average weight, the average life span, and the average gestation and/or incubation period. You will have a total of 3 graphs. You must have a box-and-whisker plot and a bar graph. Choose a different graph for the remaining set of data.

Upon completing your research, answer the following questions:

a. What is the mean, median, and mode of the amount spent to purchase each animal?

b. What is the mean, median, and mode for the average weight of the animals purchased?

c. What is the mean, median, and mode for the average lifespan of the animals purchased?

d. What is the mean, median, and mode for the average gestation period?

Zoo Challenge 3:
Now it is time to put all of your information together and create a presentation. Your presentation should include:

A listing of the animals you chose and an explanation of why you chose them;

A picture of each animal you chose in your presentation; and

Your spreadsheet, calculations, and graphs.

In addition, you should make use of the following vocabulary words in your presentation: mean, median, and mode.

Keep in mind that you will be reporting your results to the Animals Inc. board (your peers and teacher), so be organized and creative!


Guidance
If you are having difficulties with a particular challenge, you have come to the right place! Below are some helpful hints for each challenge from the staff at Animals Inc.

Zoo Challenge 1:
Your spreadsheet should include the following:

Each type of animal purchased;

The total amount spent on each category of purchased animals; and

The total amount spent.

Remember, when writing expressions, you need a defined variable, numbers, and at least one operation. For example, an expression for the total amount spent on zebras might be $15,000z, where z = the total number of zebras purchased.

Zoo Challenge 2:

An animal’s gestation period is the amount of time the animal carries the infant in the womb. If an animal hatches from an egg, the animal’s incubation period is the amount of time the animal spends in the egg before hatching.

The mean is the arithmetic average of a set of data.

The median is the middle number in a set of data when the data is in numerical order.

The mode is the number(s) that appears most often.

Zoo Challenge 3:

Some of the presentations that you could create are:

a PowerPoint or slide presentation,

a poster,

a newspaper/magazine article, or

a professional portfolio.

This is an outline for your slide show

Here is an example of a presentation for the Zoo Challenges:

Slide 1:
Title: Animal Research and Statistics
Introduction:
- Welcome to Animals Inc. board meeting!
- Today, we will be presenting our findings on the research and statistics of various animals.
- Let's dive right in!

Slide 2:
Animal Selection:
- We chose a diverse range of animals for our research.
- Each animal represents different characteristics and unique qualities that make them interesting.
- The selected animals are Alligator, Leopard, Bearded Dragon, Lion, Boa Constrictor, Manatee, Camel, Monkey, Cheetah, Panda Bear, Crane, Polar Bear, Crocodile, Pronghorn, Elephant, Python, Emu, Rabbit, Giraffe, Rhinoceros, Goat, Sea Lion, Goose, Snapping Turtle Grizzly Bear Tiger Guanaco Tortoise Hippopotamus Yak Iguana Zebra.

Slide 3:
Reasons for Selection:
- We considered factors such as popularity among visitors and educational value while selecting these animals.
- These animals offer unique experiences and knowledge to our visitors.
- They also represent different habitats and ecosystems around the world.

Slide 4:
Average Weight - Graph (Box-and-whisker plot):
- This graph shows the average weight of each animal in our selection.
- It provides us with a visual representation of the range and distribution of weights among the animals.
- The box represents the interquartile range (IQR), while the whiskers show the minimum and maximum values.

Slide 5:
Average Lifespan - Graph (Bar graph):
- This bar graph displays the average lifespan of each animal in our selection.
- It allows us to compare the lifespans across different species easily.
- The height of each bar represents the average lifespan in years.

Slide 6:
Gestation/Incubation Period - Graph (Your choice of graph):
- This graph showcases the average gestation and/or incubation period for each animal.
- We chose a different type of graph to present this data, which allows for better visualization.
- The graph helps us understand the duration of pregnancy or egg incubation for each species.

Slide 7:
Mean, Median, and Mode - Animal Purchase Price:
- Mean: The average amount spent on purchasing animals is calculated by dividing the total amount spent by the number of animals purchased.
- Median: The middle value when arranging the purchase prices in numerical order.
- Mode: The most frequently occurring purchase price.

Slide 8:
Mean, Median, and Mode - Average Weight:
- Mean: The average weight is calculated by summing up all the weights and dividing it by the total number of animals.
- Median: The middle weight when arranging the animals' weights in numerical order.
- Mode: The most common weight among our selection.

Slide 9:
Mean, Median, and Mode - Average Lifespan:
- Mean: Calculated by adding up all the lifespans and dividing it by the total number of animals.
- Median: The middle lifespan when arranging the animals' lifespans in numerical order.
- Mode: The most frequently occurring lifespan.

Slide 10:
Mean, Median, and Mode - Average Gestation/Incubation Period:
- Mean: Calculated by summing up all gestation/incubation periods and dividing it by the total number of animals.
- Median: The middle period when arranging the animals' gestation/incubation periods in numerical order.
- Mode: The most commonly observed gestation/incubation period.

Slide 11:
Conclusion:
- In conclusion, our research provides valuable insights into various aspects of these selected animals.
- We have analyzed their average weight, lifespan, and gestation/incubation period to enhance our understanding.
- These findings will help us make informed decisions regarding animal care and visitor experiences.

Slide 12:
Thank You!
- Thank you for your time and attention.
- We hope our research has provided valuable information to the Animals Inc. board.
- We are excited to continue working towards creating a memorable experience for our visitors.
