Sample 2:

Answered by GPT 3.5
To find the percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts in both samples, we can add the number of people who prefer cashews in each sample and divide by the total number of people in both samples:

Total number of people who prefer cashew nuts in both samples = 63 (Sample 1) + 61 (Sample 2) = 124

Total number of people in both samples = 200 (Sample 1) + 200 (Sample 2) = 400

Percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts = (124/400) * 100% = 31%

Therefore, 31% of the people prefer cashew nuts based on the two samples provided.
