The data from two random samples of 200 people regarding their favorite nuts is shown in the following table. sample 1: Almonds-40, pistachio-62, cashew-63, walnuts-35, total-200. sample 2: Almonds-43, pistachio-64, cashew-61, walnuts-32, total-200. based on the two samples, what percentage of the people prefer cashew nuts?
To calculate the percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts in the two samples, we need to add up the number of people who prefer cashew nuts in both samples and then divide by the total number of people in both samples.
In sample 1, 63 people prefer cashew nuts.
In sample 2, 61 people prefer cashew nuts.
Total number of people who prefer cashew nuts in both samples = 63 + 61 = 124
Total number of people in both samples = 200 + 200 = 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.
