Since Pablo surveyed 130 students and we can assume that the sample is representative of the entire school population, we can use proportion to estimate the number of students in the school who prefer orange sherbet.
If 130 students represent the sample and the survey shows that 41 students prefer orange sherbet, then the proportion can be set up as a ratio:
41 (orange sherbet preference) / 130 (total students surveyed) = x (orange sherbet preference in the entire school) / 528 (total students in the school)
Solving for x:
41 / 130 = x / 528
x = (41 * 528) / 130
x = 41 * 4.06
x ≈ 166
Therefore, approximately 166 students in the school prefer orange sherbet.
