A survey taken by 1,000 students at a school asked whether they played school sports. The table below summarizes all 1,000 responses from the students surveyed.
How many of the males surveyed responded that they do not play a school sport?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Choice B is correct. The table summarizes all 1,000 responses from the students surveyed. If 312 are males who play a sport, 220 are females who play a sport, and 216 are females who do not play a sport, then 1,000 – 312 – 220 – 216 = 252 males who do not play a sport.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. If 109 males who do not play a sport responded, then the table summary would be 109 + 312 + 220 + 216 = 857 total student responses rather than 1,000. If 468 males who do not play a sport responded, then the table summary would be 468 + 312 + 220 + 216 = 1,216 total student responses rather than 1,000. If 688 males who do not play a sport responded, then the table summary would be 688 + 312 + 220 + 216 = 1,436 total student responses rather than 1,000.
