To calculate the percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts, we need to add the number of people who prefer cashews in both samples and then divide by the total number of people in both samples.
Number of people who prefer cashews in Sample 1 = 63
Number of people who prefer cashews in Sample 2 = 61
Total number of people who prefer cashews = 63 + 61 = 124
Total number of people in both samples = 200 + 200 = 400
Percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts = (124/400) x 100% = 31%
So, the correct answer is:
31%
