Use the table to answer the question.

Dog 14
Cat 7
Rabbit 2
Ferret 1
Snake 3
Lizard 2
A pet store owner asked their customers what type of pet they own. If the store owner were to ask 1,327 customers, predict how many would have cats.
To predict how many customers out of 1,327 would have cats, we can calculate the percentage of customers who have cats from the given data.
Total number of customers who have cats = 7
Total number of customers = 14 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 2 = 29
Percentage of customers who have cats = (7/29) * 100 = 24.14%
Now, to predict how many customers out of 1,327 would have cats:
Number of customers with cats out of 1,327 = 1,327 * 0.2414 ≈ 320.29
Therefore, we can predict that about 320 customers out of 1,327 would have cats.
