**Question:**
How many students are in Mr. Jones' class?

**Options:**
- ☐ 21
- ☐ 30
- ☐ Cannot be determined.

### Explanation

To determine the total number of students in Mr. Jones' class, sum the frequencies across all categories of the pets owned:

\[ 1 (for 6 pets) + 2 (for 5 pets) + 1 (for 4 pets) + 2 (for 3 pets) + 8 (for 2 pets) + 12 (for 1 pet) + 4 (with no pets) = 30 \]

Hence, the total number of students in Mr. Jones' class is 30.
