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 cashew nuts
In this table, it shows that 150 people in sample 1 and 120 people in sample 2 prefer cashew nuts.
To find the overall percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts, we first need to find the total number of people in both samples who prefer cashew nuts:
Total number of people who prefer cashew nuts = 150 (sample 1) + 120 (sample 2) = 270
Total number of people in both samples = 200 (sample 1) + 200 (sample 2) = 400
Percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts = (270/400) x 100% ≈ 67.5%
Therefore, based on the two samples, approximately 67.5% of the people prefer cashew nuts.
