Should dogs be allowed on the public beaches

children adults total
yes 53
no 9
total 40
total 160

It seems like there may be a mistake in the data provided. The total number of respondents is given as 160, but the individual totals for "yes" and "no" responses for allowing dogs on public beaches for children and adults do not add up to this total. Additionally, it is not clear from the data how many respondents are in each category (children or adults).

Assuming that the total number of respondents is 160, the data should be presented as follows:

- Children:
- Yes: 53
- No: 9

- Adults:
- Yes: [number of yes responses from adults]
- No: [number of no responses from adults]

Without more information, it is difficult to analyze the data and provide a relevant interpretation.
