Final answer:

To calculate the probability that at least 26 students like to swim, subtract the given probability of at most 25 students liking to swim (56%) from 100%, resulting in 44%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about the probability in a different context, where 56% is the probability that at most 25 students like to swim. To find the probability that at least 26 students like to swim, we need to consider the complement of the given probability. Since the total probability must equal 100%, we subtract the given probability from 100% to find the desired probability.

100% - 56% = 44%

Therefore, the probability that at least 26 students like to swim is 44%.
