To find the approximate number of students in the school who prefer animated movies, we need to calculate the proportion of students who chose animated movies in the sample and then apply that proportion to the total number of students in the school.
In the sample data, 48 students out of 120 chose animated movies.
Proportion of students who prefer animated movies in the sample = 48/120 = 0.4
Now, to find the approximate number of students in the school who prefer animated movies:
Number of students in the school = 628
Approximate number of students who prefer animated movies = 0.4 * 628 = 251
Therefore, approximately 251 students in the school prefer animated movies.
The answer is C. 251
