[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To determine the approximate number of students in the school who prefer animated movies, we can use the concept of proportionality:

Number of students who prefer animated movies in the sample = 48
Total number of students in the school = 628

Number of students who prefer animated movies in the school = (48/120) * 628
Number of students who prefer animated movies in the school = 251.2

Therefore, approximately 251 students in the school prefer animated movies.
