Explanation:

Step1: Count players with 0 wins

From the graph, the number of X's at 0 is 3. So, 3 players.

Step2: Count players with 1 win

The number of X's at 1 is 5. So, 5 players.

Step3: Count players with 2 wins

The number of X's at 2 is 9. So, 9 players.

Step4: Count players with 3 wins

The number of X's at 3 is 1. So, 1 player.

Step5: Count players with 4 wins

The number of X's at 4 is 6. So, 6 players.

Step6: Sum all counts

Add the number of players for each win category: \(3 + 5 + 9 + 1 + 6\)
First, \(3 + 5 = 8\), then \(8 + 9 = 17\), then \(17 + 1 = 18\), then \(18 + 6 = 24\).

Answer:

24
