Explanation:

Step1: Analyze quantitative - qualitative data

The data is about counts of students with different numbers of pets, which is quantitative data.

Step2: Check percentage of non - pet - owning students

Percentage of boys with 0 pets: $\frac{8}{15}\approx 0.533$. Percentage of girls with 0 pets: $\frac{7}{20} = 0.35$. So, there are not more girls without pets than boys without pets.

Step3: Check number of girls with 2 or more pets

Number of girls with 2 or more pets is $5 + 2=7$, not 2.

Step4: Check number of girls with and without pets

Number of girls without pets is 7. Number of girls with pets is $6 + 5+2 = 13$. So, more girls own pets than do not own pets.

Answer:

The survey represents quantitative data.
