31.5%
To find the percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts, we need to add up the number of people who prefer cashew nuts in both samples and then divide by the total number of people in both samples.
In sample 1, 63 people prefer cashew nuts.
In sample 2, 61 people prefer cashew nuts.
In total, 63 + 61 = 124 people prefer cashew nuts.
Out of the total of 400 people in both samples (200 in each sample), the percentage that prefer cashew nuts is:
(124/400) x 100% = 31.5%
he data from two random samples of 200 people regarding their favorite nuts is shown in the following table.
