Let's analyze the data given in the two-way table:

1. Total number of students who have rabbits:
- [tex]\( 22 \)[/tex] (have both dogs and rabbits)
- [tex]\( 23 \)[/tex] (have rabbits only)

Therefore, the total number of students who have rabbits is:
[tex]\[ 22 + 23 = 45 \][/tex]

2. Total number of students who have dogs:
- [tex]\( 22 \)[/tex] (have both dogs and rabbits)
- [tex]\( 18 \)[/tex] (have dogs only)

Therefore, the total number of students who have dogs is:
[tex]\[ 22 + 18 = 40 \][/tex]

3. To find how many more students have rabbits than dogs, subtract the number of students who have dogs from the number of students who have rabbits:
[tex]\[ 45 - 40 = 5 \][/tex]

Thus, 5 more students have rabbits than dogs.
