For sample one, candidate A received 346 votes out of 500, which is 346/500 = 0.692 or 69.2%.
For sample two, candidate A received 248 votes out of 500, which is 248/500 = 0.496 or 49.6%.
To calculate the percentage of the total poll residence that would vote for candidate A, we need to combine the votes from both samples.
Total votes for candidate A = 346 + 248 = 594
Total votes in the poll = 500 + 500 = 1000
Percentage of total poll residence that would vote for candidate A = 594/1000 = 0.594 or 59.4%
Therefore, 59.4% of the total poll residence would vote for candidate A as the town mayor.
