Answer:

Proportion

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion is just the division of the data that meets the description, between the total number of data present in the study.

For example, let's suppose that we have a tiger, a lion, a sheep, a cow and a horse, and we want to know the proportion of animals that eat meat, then, only 2 out of 5 of those eat meat, the tiger and the lion, meaning [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex], which would be the proportion, or 0.40
