To find a good prediction of how many students would prefer an action film, we can use the proportion from the survey and apply it to the total number of students.
In the survey, 20 students were asked about their preferences, and the graph shows that 68 students preferred action films.
Therefore, we can set up a proportion: 20/68 = 452/x
Cross-multiplying, we get 20x = 68 * 452
Simplifying, we find that 20x = 30,736
Dividing both sides of the equation by 20, we get: x = 1,536
Thus, a good prediction of how many students would prefer an action film would be 1,536.
Therefore, the answer is 1,536.
