To find the number of people who prefer only horror movies, we can subtract the number of people who like both action and horror movies from the total number of people who like only action movies.
Total number of people who like action movies only: 43
Total number of people who like both action and horror movies: 62
Total number of people who like only horror movies = Total number of people who like action movies only - Total number of people who like both action and horror movies
= 43 - 62
= -19
Since we cannot have a negative number of people, it means that there is an error in the given information. We cannot determine the number of people who prefer only horror movies.
