From Sample 1, 63 people prefer cashew nuts, and from Sample 2, 61 people prefer cashew nuts.
Total number of people who prefer cashew nuts = 63 (from Sample 1) + 61 (from Sample 2) = 124
Total number of people in both samples = 200 (from Sample 1) + 200 (from Sample 2) = 400
Percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts = (124/400) * 100 = 31%
Therefore, 31% of the people prefer cashew nuts based on the two samples.
The data from two random samples of 200 people regarding their favorite nuts is shown in the following table.
Almond. Pistachio Cashew Walnuts Total
Sample 1 40. 62. 63. 35. 200
Sample 2 43. 64. 61. 32. 200
