Question

Of 158 consumers polled, some like only action movies, some prefer just horror movies, and some like both. If 43 people like only action, and 62 like both, how many people prefer only horror movies? (1 point) Responses 58 58 55 55 53 53 43 43

Answer 1

To find the number of people who prefer only horror movies, we need to subtract the number of people who like both action and horror movies from the total number of people who like action movies.

Total number of people who like action movies = 43 people who like only action movies + 62 people who like both = 43 + 62 = 105 people.

Therefore, the number of people who prefer only horror movies is 158 (total number of consumers polled) - 105 (total number of people who like action movies) = 53 people.
