The data from two random samples of 200 people regarding their favorite nuts is shown in the following table based on the two samples what percentage of the people prefer a cashew nuts?

Answer 1

To calculate the percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts, we first need to determine the number of people in each sample who prefer cashew nuts.

From the table:
- In sample 1, 20 people prefer cashew nuts.
- In sample 2, 15 people prefer cashew nuts.

Total number of people who prefer cashew nuts = 20 + 15 = 35

Total number of people in both samples = 200 + 200 = 400

Percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts = (35/400) * 100 = 8.75%

Therefore, based on the two random samples, 8.75% of the people prefer cashew nuts.
