Fido's dog must lose 1.17 pounds each month to reach healthier weight.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Weight of fido's dog = 35 pounds
Time period = 6 months
Goal weight to reach = 28 or less pounds
Let,
m be the weight to be lose each month.
Weight of dog - Time period * Weight to lose each month ≤ Goal weight
Dividing both sides by -6
Fido's dog must lose 1.17 pounds each month to reach healthier weight.

I have an expression
floating around in my head; let's see if it makes sense.
The variance of binary valued random variable b that comes up 1 with probability p (so has mean p) is
That's for an individual sample. For the observed average we divide by n, and for the standard deviation we take the square root:
Plugging in the numbers,
One standard deviation of the average is almost 2% so a 27% outcome was 3/1.9 = 1.6 standard deviations from the mean, corresponding to a two sided probability of a bit bigger than 10% of happening by chance.
So this is borderline suspect; most surveys will include a two sigma margin of error, say plus or minus 4 percent here, and the results were within those bounds.
