Based on the sample proportion, 56% of the middle school students play outdoor games for at least three hours every week (56 out of 100 students).

To calculate the expected number of students in the school that would play outdoor games for at least three hours every week, we can use the proportion:

56% of 1,200 students = 0.56 * 1,200 = 672 students

Therefore, based on the sample proportion, we would expect approximately 672 students in the school to play outdoor games for at least three hours every week.
