Detailed explanation-1: -There are between 700 million and 1 billion dogs in the world. The number includes the total world dog population-both dogs living in households and strays. It’s important to note that these are estimates since counting every dog is impossible.
Detailed explanation-2: -Populations are all the members of a species that live in a one area. You are part of the human population for your home town. A freshwater pond has multiple populations, including a population of mallard ducks, and a population of cattail plants growing on the edge.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ideal method for determining the pet population of an area would be to do a complete census of the area, including all households and pets. If this is not feasible, the households should be selected at random from a sample frame that includes all households in the given area.
