Exercise 37 Page 457

Which tiger weighs more, the male or the female tiger?

The average weight of male lions is greater than the average weight of female lions. See solution.

Practice makes perfect

Examining the given table, we see that for all types of tigers the average weight of male lions is greater than the average weight of female lions. With this information, we can make a conjecture. Conjecture: & The average weight of male lions &is greater than the average &weight of female lions. Since this is only a pattern, we have used inductive reasoning to form our conjecture.
