According to the sample data from the 130 students surveyed:
- 30 students prefer chocolate ice cream
- 45 students prefer vanilla ice cream
- 25 students prefer strawberry ice cream
- 30 students prefer mint chip ice cream
To find out approximately how many students in the school prefer orange sherbet, we first calculate the total number of students who prefer the listed flavors in the sample:
Total = 30 + 45 + 25 + 30 = 130
Then, we subtract the total number of students from the total number of students in the school:
520 - 130 = 390
Since each flavor has an equal chance of being chosen, we divide the remaining students evenly among the 5 flavor options:
390 / 5 = 78
Therefore, approximately 78 students in the school prefer orange sherbet.
