In Sample 1, 63 people prefer cashew nuts out of a total of 200 people.
In Sample 2, 61 people prefer cashew nuts out of a total of 200 people.
Therefore, the total number of people who prefer cashew nuts in both samples is 63 + 61 = 124.
The total number of people surveyed in both samples is 200 + 200 = 400.
To calculate the percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts, we take 124 (number of people who prefer cashew nuts) divided by 400 (total number of people surveyed) and multiply by 100.
(124/400) * 100 = 31%
Approximately 31% of the people surveyed prefer cashew nuts.
The data from two random samples of 200 people regarding their favorite nuts is shown in the following table.
