Final answer:

To find the number of students not included in the survey, we subtract the total number of students surveyed from the total school population. As per the data provided, 10 Bears, 22 Panthers, 15 Beavers, and 2 Jaguars were surveyed, a total of 49 students. So, 600 (total students in the school) - 49 (surveyed students) equates 551 students who were not included in the survey.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of students not included in the survey, first we must understand that this question is about subtraction.

Firstly, we need to find the total number of students that were surveyed. According to the data provided, the survey included:

  • 10 Bears
  • 22 Panthers
  • 15 Beavers
  • 2 Jaguars

When we sum up these numbers, we find that a total of 49 students were surveyed (10+22+15+2).

Since we know that the school has 600 students in total, to find the number of students who were not included in the survey, we subtract the total number of students surveyed from the total school population. So, 600 (total students) - 49 (total surveyed students) equals 551. Therefore, option 2) 551 is the correct choice.
