The percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts can be calculated by adding the number of people who prefer cashew nuts in both samples (63 + 61 = 124) and dividing by the total number of people in both samples (200 + 200 = 400).
This gives us 124/400 = 0.31 or 31%, so the correct answer is:
31%
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
Based on the two samples, what percentage of the people prefer cashew nuts?
