B.1,200
C. 58
D. 100



Answer :

A. 696 - take 1200 (the population of the school) and multiply by the result you found (.58 or 58%). 1200 * .58 = 696

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of students in the school = 1200

In a sample of 100 students, 58% of the sample prefers art to music.

So, Number of students in the school would be expected to prefer art over music is given by

[tex]\dfrac{58}{100}\times 1200\\\\=696[/tex]

Hence, there are 696 students who prefer art over music.

Therefore, Option 'A' is correct.
