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