Alyssa Newman · Answer 1

a. 135 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information:

dogs lover: 150

cats lover: 120

as the null hypothesis:

H, there are equal number of dogs lover and cats lover, so the expected frequency in each cell will be equal and that is:

f = (150 + 120) / 2

f = 270/2 = 135

so option a. 135 is correct
