Question

Each of forty-six pet owners was asked, "Does your pet eat more wet food or dry food?" Here are the results. 9 cat owners and 13 dog owners chose "Wet food". 10 cat owners and 14 dog owners chose "Dry food". Construct a two-way frequency table for the data.

Answer 1

Cat owner Dog owner Total

Wet food 9 13 22

Dry food 10 14 24

Total 19 27 46

Explanation:

It is given that 9 cat owners and 13 dog owners chose "Wet food". 10 cat owners and 14 dog owners chose "Dry food".

Cat owners-Wet food = 9

Dog owners-Wet food =13

Cat owners-Dry food = 10

Dog owners-Dry food =14

We need to construct a two-way frequency table for the data.

Take owners in the first row and type of food in first column and construct a two-way frequency as shown below:

Cat owner Dog owner Total

Wet food 9 13 22

Dry food 10 14 24

Total 19 27 46
