Question

Based on these results, is it fair to say that Animal

Planet watchers are more likely to own either a cat or dog compared
to the national average?

Answer 1

Without data comparing AnimalPlanet watchers' pet ownership to the national average, it's not possible to statistically confirm if they are more likely to own a cat or dog.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine whether AnimalPlanet watchers are more likely to own either a cat or dog compared to the national average, one would typically employ statistical analysis. However, the provided information does not include specific data comparing the ownership rates of AnimalPlanet watchers to the national average.

Thus, without the national average data or the ownership data for AnimalPlanet watchers, we cannot perform a statistical test, such as a z-test or chi-square test, to evaluate the difference in ownership rates at the 1 percent significance level. For accurate conclusions, we would require the national average pet ownership rates and a sample of pet ownership rates among AnimalPlanet watchers to conduct the hypothesis test.
