The correct answer is 41.
If Pablo surveyed 130 students and 10 of them prefer orange sherbet, then you can calculate the proportion of students in the sample that prefer orange sherbet by dividing the frequency of orange sherbet in the sample by the total number of students surveyed: (10/130) = 0.0769.
To estimate the number of students in the school that prefer orange sherbet, you can multiply this proportion by the total number of students in the school: 0.0769 x 528 = 40.61. Since you can't have a fraction of a student, you would round this up to 41.
Therefore, approximately 41 students in the school prefer orange sherbet based on Pablo's sample data.
