How many of the students interviewed do not collect sports cards?
A. 10
B. 9
C. 15
D. 14
D. 14
To find the number of students who do not collect sports cards, we need to find the total number of students interviewed and subtract the number of students who collect sports cards.
According to the given data, Bryan interviewed 24 students.
Let's calculate the number of students who collect sports cards. We can do this by subtracting the number of students who do not collect sports cards from the total number of students interviewed.
The number of students who collect sports cards = Total number of students interviewed - Number of students who do not collect sports cards
From the given options, we need to find the number that represents the number of students who do not collect sports cards.
Option A: 10
Option B: 9
Option C: 15
Option D: 14
Let's evaluate each option:
Option A: The number of students who do not collect sports cards is not 10 because it is greater than half of the total students interviewed.
Option B: The number of students who do not collect sports cards is not 9 because it is greater than half of the total students interviewed.
Option C: The number of students who do not collect sports cards is not 15 because it is greater than half of the total students interviewed.
Option D: The number of students who do not collect sports cards is 24 - 14 = 10.
Therefore, the correct option is D. 14 students.
