31%
To find the percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts, you add up the number of people who prefer cashews in both samples (63 + 61 = 124) and divide by the total number of people in both samples (200 + 200 = 400).
124 / 400 = 0.31
Convert 0.31 to a percentage by multiplying by 100:
0.31 x 100 = 31%
Therefore, 31% of people prefer cashew nuts.
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
