Question

A survey of 80 students found that 24 students both play in the band and play a sport. But 22 students are not in band and do not play a sport. There are 48 students in the band. If being in band is the row variable and playing sports is the column variable, fill in the labels in the table. tables Which of the following correctly represents the given data in the problem?

Answer 1

D) a = 24, c = 48, e = 22, i = 80

Answer 2

We have that 48 students are in the band and that 24 out of them also play sport. Hence, in total 24 students are in the band but dont play sports. We have that there are 4 categories and we know the other 2 categories (do both, do none). There is a 4th category, only sports. We know that the sum of all those categories is 80 (since a student either does or does not a combination of those). Hence, 80=24+24+22+x. We have that x=10, hence 10 students play sports but are not in the band.
