To find out how many frogs in the pond would have red speckles, you can create a proportion using the sample data.

First, calculate the proportion of frogs with red speckles in the sample:
6 frogs with red speckles / 72 total frogs in the sample = 0.0833 (rounded to 4 decimal places)

Then, use this proportion to estimate the total number of frogs with red speckles in the pond:
0.0833 x 360 total frogs in the pond = 30 frogs with red speckles

Therefore, you would predict that there are 30 frogs with red speckles in the pond.
