In a survey, 28 students use the bus, 14 use a bicycle, and 9 use both methods. How many use only a bicycle?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 5
The bicycle group contains 14 students in total, but 9 of them also use the bus. To find students who use only a bicycle, remove the overlap: only bicycle = n(Bicycle) − n(Bus ∩ Bicycle) = 14 − 9 = 5. Therefore, option A is correct. The bus total is irrelevant to this particular calculation.
