Answer 1

Answer:

⇒$\frac{8}{21} =\frac{x}{50}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let average no. of shepherds be x

there are estimated to be 50 dogs

Thus average no. of dogs /  estimated no. of dogs =x/50

Since in sample 1 there are 7 shepherd mix

In sample 2 there are 9 shepherd mix

So total shepherd mix = 9+7=16

Total dogs according to table = 4+7+3+1+2+5+9+5+2+4=42

Thus total shepherd / total dogs = 16/42

A.T.Q

$\frac{16}{42} =\frac{x}{50}$

⇒$\frac{8}{21} =\frac{x}{50}$

This proportion  could be used to find the average number of shepherd mixes at the park at any given time

Thus option A is correct

Answer 2

Yes you get 16 but it is out of 42 so then you cut it in half making the answer A.
