The missing number in the table is 4.
To find this number, you can fill in the table using the given information.
From the table:
- 30 students play basketball and football
- 40 students play football
- 8 students play basketball but do not play football
- 6 students do not play basketball or football
Calculate the missing number by subtracting the students who are already accounted for:
Total number of students who play football = 40
Number of students who play basketball and football = 30
Number of students who play football only = 40 - 30 = 10
Now, subtract the students who are accounted for:
Total number of students = 54
Number of students who play basketball = 38
Number of students who do not play basketball = 16
Number of students who do not play basketball or football = 6
Therefore, the missing number is calculated as:
Total number of students who do not play basketball = 16 - 6 = 10
Number of students who do not play basketball but play football = 10 - 4 = 6
Thus, the missing number in the table is 4.
The two-way table shows the number of students in a class who play basketball and/or football.
