There are 628 students in Tan's high school. Tan surveys 120 randomly chosen students about their favorite movie genre.
Based on Tan's sample data, approximately how many students in the school prefer animated movies?
To find an approximate estimate of the number of students in the school who prefer animated movies, we can multiply the proportion of students in the sample who prefer animated movies by the total number of students in the school.
Let's assume that "x" students in the sample prefer animated movies. Based on the sample size, we know that the proportion of students who prefer animated movies is x/120. We can use this proportion to estimate the number of students in the school who prefer animated movies by multiplying it by the total number of students in the school:
Number of students who prefer animated movies = (x/120) * 628
Since we don't have the exact proportion of students in the sample who prefer animated movies, we cannot solve for the exact number. However, if we have the proportion, we could substitute it into the equation to find an approximate estimate.
