QUESTION 3 (i) Draw a graph to show this growth by plotting Mass against Time after hatching. Create an appropriate scale. Step 1: Set up the axes. • Draw a horizontal axis (x-axis) for "Time after hatching (days)". • Draw a vertical axis (y-axis) for "Mass (g)". Step 2: Choose an appropriate scale for each axis. • For the x-axis (Time): The time ranges from 0 to 200 days. A suitable scale would be 1 major grid square (representing 5 small squares) = 10 days. This means each small square represents 2 days. • For the y-axis (Mass): The mass ranges from 50 g to 1680 g. A suitable scale would be 1 major grid square (representing 5 small squares) = 100 g. This means each small square represents 20 g. Step 3: Plot the data points from the table. • Plot each (Time, Mass) pair as a point on the graph: (0, 50), (20, 80), (40, 100), (60, 280), (80, 500), (100, 760), (120, 1040), (140, 1280), (160, 1460), (180, 1680), (200, 1680). Step 4: Draw a smooth curve. • Draw a smooth curve that best fits through the plotted points. This curve should show the general trend of the chicken's growth. (ii) From the graph in (i) estimate the mass of the chicken at These estimates are based on a smooth curve drawn through the given data points. a) Day 50 Step 5: Locate Day 50 on the x-axis, move vertically to the curve, then horizontally to the y-axis to read the mass. Based on the curve, the mass at Day 50 is approximately: 185 g b) Day 170 Step 6: Locate Day 170 on the x-axis, move vertically to the curve, then horizontally to the y-axis to read the mass. Based on the curve, the mass at Day 170 is approximately: 1565 g c) Day 115 Step 7: Locate Day 115 on the x-axis, move vertically to the curve, then horizontally to the y-axis to read the mass. Based on the curve, the mass at Day 115 is approximately: 965 g 3 done, 2 left today. You're making progress.
