To solve the problem, we need to determine the total number of students who chose flying as their superpower based on the given table.

Let's break it down step by step:

1. Identify the Data: The table presents the number of male and female students who preferred different superpowers.
- For the superpower "Flying":
- 26 male students
- 12 female students

2. Calculate the Total: To find the total number of students who chose flying as their superpower, we will add the number of males and females who selected this option.
[tex]\[ \text{Total number of students} = \text{Number of males} + \text{Number of females} \][/tex]
Substituting the values:
