The data from two random samples of 100 students regarding what pet they own is given below. Dog Cat Bird Total
Sample 1 54 38 8 100
Sample 2 39 49 12 100
Based on the two samples, what percentage of students own a bird as a pet? (1 point)
In Sample 1, 8 out of 100 students own a bird as a pet.
In Sample 2, 12 out of 100 students own a bird as a pet.
Total number of students owning a bird as a pet = 8 (from Sample 1) + 12 (from Sample 2) = 20
Total number of students = 100 (from each sample)
Percentage of students owning a bird as a pet = (20 / 200) * 100 = 10%
Therefore, 10% of students own a bird as a pet based on the two samples.
