Based on the updated survey data, we can see that 48 out of the 120 students surveyed prefer animated movies.
To find the approximate number of students in the school who prefer animated movies, we can set up a proportion using the data from the sample survey.
In the survey, 48 out of 120 students preferred animated movies.
We can set up the proportion as follows:
48/120 = x/628
Now, we can cross multiply and solve for x:
120x = 48*628
120x = 30144
x = 30144/120
x = 251.2
Therefore, approximately 251 students in the school prefer animated movies.
Based on the options given, the answer is 251.

To find the approximate number of students in the school who prefer animated movies, we can set up a proportion using the data from the sample survey.
In the survey, 24 out of 120 students preferred animated movies.
We can set up the proportion as follows:
24/120 = x/628
Now, we can cross multiply and solve for x:
120x = 24*628
120x = 15072
x = 15072/120
x = 125.6
Therefore, approximately 126 students in the school prefer animated movies.
Based on the options given, the closest answer is 125.
