Answer 2

Based on Tan's sample data, approximately 141 students in the school prefer animated movies. This is calculated by taking the proportion of students who prefer animated movies in the sample (48/120) and applying it to the total number of students in the school (628).

48/120 = 0.4
0.4 x 628 = 251.2

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