135

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the following information:

- There are 150 dog lovers

- There are 120 cat lovers

So:

The null hypothesis:

H, there are an equal number of dog lovers and cat lovers, so the expected frequency in each cell will be the same and that is:

f = (150 + 120) / 2

f = 270/2 = 135

then the first option of 135 is correct
