Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To calculate the percentage of students who own a bird as a pet, we need to add up the number of students who own a bird from both samples.

From Sample 1, 8 students own a bird.
From Sample 2, 12 students own a bird.

Total number of students who own a bird = 8 + 12 = 20

Total number of students in both samples = 100 + 100 = 200

Therefore, the percentage of students who own a bird as a pet is:
(20/200) * 100 = 10%

So, 10% of students own a bird as a pet based on the two samples.
