Using your answer from part (a), estimate the number of households that own a dog.
Based on the answer from part (a) that states that out of a randomly selected sample of 50 households, 18 own a dog, we can estimate the number of households that own a dog in the entire town.
To calculate this estimate, we can set up a proportion:
(18/50) = (x/750)
Cross-multiplying, we get:
18 * 750 = 50 * x
13,500 = 50x
Dividing both sides by 50, we find:
x = 270
Therefore, we can estimate that there are approximately 270 households that own a dog in the town.
