Answer
Attempt 1 out of 20

Answer 1

To fill in the missing values in the table, we'll first organize the information provided:

1. For seventh graders:
- Total surveyed: 48
- Number who don't have a pet: 29
- Therefore, the number who have a pet = Total surveyed - No pets = 48 - 29 = 19.

2. For eighth graders:
- Total surveyed: 30.
- The total number of students who don't have a pet is given as 39.
- Total who don't have pets (7th + 8th): 29 (from 7th) + (Number of 8th graders who don't have pets).
- Since 39 total students said they don’t have a pet, that means the 8th graders who don’t have pets = 39 - 29 = 10.
- Therefore, the number of 8th graders who have pets = Total surveyed - No pets = 30 - 10 = 20.

Now we can summarize the information into the table:

**Pets Survey:**

| | Pets | No Pets | Total |
|-------------|------|---------|-------|
| 7th grade | 19 | 29 | 48 |
| 8th grade | 20 | 10 | 30 |
| Total | 39 | 39 | 78 |

**Final Table:**

| | Pets | No Pets | Total |
|-------------|------|---------|-------|
| 7th grade | 19 | 29 | 48 |
| 8th grade | 20 | 10 | 30 |
| Total | 39 | 39 | 78 |

So, the missing values in the table are:
- 7th grade Pets: 19,
- 8th grade No Pets: 10,
- Total Pets: 39.
