The correct answer is: 251
To find the approximate number of students in the school who prefer animated movies, you can set up a proportion using the sample data.
48 (number of students who prefer animated movies in the sample) / 120 (total number of students surveyed) = x (number of students who prefer animated movies in the school) / 628 (total number of students in the school)
48/120 = x/628
Solving for x:
x = (48/120) * 628
x = 251
Therefore, approximately 251 students in the school prefer animated movies.
