There are 628 students in Tan's high School. Tan surveys 120 randomly chosen students about their favorite movie genre. The results are as follows 24 like science fiction, 11 like horror, 27 like comedy, 10 like action, and 48 like animated.

Question

Based on tan sample data approximately how many students in the school prefer animated movies?

Answer 1

To estimate the number of students in the school who prefer animated movies, we can use the proportion from the sample data.

Out of the 120 students surveyed, 48 reported liking animated movies.

The proportion of students who like animated movies in the sample is 48/120 = 0.4

Now, we can apply this proportion to the total number of students in the school:

0.4 x 628 = 251.2

Approximately 251 students in the school prefer animated movies.
