Answer:

the number of players that are in the complement of A is;


7\text{ players}

Given the table in the attached image.

A = (football players who are older than 9 years old)


\begin{gathered} n(A)=6+2 \\ n(A)=8 \end{gathered}

the compliment of A are the values that are not in A;


\begin{gathered} n(A^(\prime))=n(8)+n(9)=5+2_{} \\ n(A^(\prime))=7 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the number of players that are in the complement of A is;


7\text{ players}
