[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

141 students in the school prefer animated movies.

Explanation:
To find this, you can calculate the proportion of students who prefer animated movies in the sample (48 students out of 120), and then multiply that proportion by the total number of students in the school (628 students).

48/120 = 0.4

0.4 x 628 = 251.2

So, approximately 141 students in the school prefer animated movies.
