Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the approximate number of students in the school who prefer orange sherbet, we can use the same proportion from the survey.

According to the survey, 10 out of 130 students prefer orange sherbet.

To find the estimated number of students in the school who prefer orange sherbet, we can set up a proportion:

10/130 = x/528

Cross multiplying, we get:

130x = 5280

Dividing by 130, we find:

x ≈ 40.6

Rounded to the nearest whole number, approximately 41 students in the school prefer orange sherbet.

Therefore, the correct answer is 41.
