Explanation:

Calculate the relative frequency of each possibility:

Have a cat and don't share a room: 0.121

Have a dog and share a room: 0.303

Have a dog and don't share a room: 0.152

Don't have a dog or cat and share a room: 0.152

Don't have a dog or cat and don't share a room: 0.090

The only choice that is correct is It is more likely for a classmate who owns pet to share a room.
