Explanation:

1. Quantitative data check: Quantitative data is numerical and can be counted or measured. The number of pets is numerical, so the survey represents quantitative data.
2. Percentage of non - pet - owning boys and girls: Percentage of non - pet - owning boys is $\frac{8}{15}\approx0.533$ or 53.3%. Percentage of non - pet - owning girls is $\frac{7}{20} = 0.35$ or 35%. So, there is not a greater percentage of girls who do not own a pet than boys who do not own a pet.
3. Number of girls with 2 or more pets: The number of girls with 2 pets is 5 and with more than 2 pets is 2. So the total number of girls who own 2 or more pets is $5 + 2=7

eq2$.

1. Number of pet - owning and non - pet - owning girls: Number of non - pet - owning girls is 7. Number of pet - owning girls is $6 + 5+2=13$. So, more girls own a pet than do not own a pet.

Answer:

The survey represents quantitative data.
