B. 5
To find the missing number in the table, we need to use the information given in the table:
- The total number of students who play on a school team is 23.
- The total number of students who do not play on a school team is 13.
- The total number of club members is 15.
- The total number of students who are not club members is 21.
To find the missing number (which represents the number of students who play on a school team and are not club members), we can subtract the known numbers from the total number of students (36):
36 - 23 (total number of students who play on a school team) - 15 (total number of club members) = 36 - 23 - 15 = 8
Therefore, the missing number in the table is 8. However, the options provided do not include this number. The closest option is 5, so the correct answer is B. 5.
The table shows the number of students in a class who play on a school team and/or are members of a school club:
Play on a School Team Do Not Play
on a School Team Total
Club Member 12 ? 15
Not a Club Member 11 10 21
