31%
To calculate the percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts, you add the number of people who prefer cashews from both samples (63 from Sample 1 and 61 from Sample 2) and divide by the total number of people in both samples (200 each).
(63 + 61) / (200 + 200) = 124 / 400 = 31%
Therefore, 31% of the people prefer cashew nuts based on the two random samples.
The data from two random samples of 200 people regarding their favorite nuts is shown in the following table.
Almond Pistachio Cashew Walnuts Total
Sample 1 40 62 63 35 200
Sample 2 43 64 61 32 200
Based on the two samples, what percentage of the people prefer cashew nuts?
