To find the percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts, we need to find the total number of people who prefer cashew nuts in both samples.
Sample 1: 40 people prefer cashew nuts
Sample 2: 43 people prefer cashew nuts
Total number of people who prefer cashew nuts = 40 + 43 = 83
Total number of people in both samples = 200 + 200 = 400
Percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts = (83/400) x 100% ≈ 20.75%
Therefore, the closest percentage from the options provided is 31.5%.
The data from two random samples of 200 people regarding their favorite nuts is shown in the following table. Sample 1: 40, 62, 63, 36, total 200 Sample 2: 43, 64, 61, 32. Total 200 based on the two samples, what percentage of the people refer cashew nuts? 31.5%, 30.5%, 62%,31%
