31%
To calculate the percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts, we need to add up the number of people in both samples who prefer cashew nuts. This total is 63 (Sample 1) + 61 (Sample 2) = 124.
Next, we divide this total by the combined sample size (200+200=400) and multiply by 100 to get the percentage: (124/400) * 100 = 31%.
Therefore, 31% of the people prefer cashew nuts based on the two samples.
The data from two random samples of 200 people regarding their favorite nuts is shown in the following table.

Sample 1 40 62 63 35 200
Sample 2 43 64 61 32 200
