To calculate the percentage of residents who would vote for Candidate A, we add the number of residents who would vote for Candidate A in both samples (346 + 248) and divide by the total number of residents polled (500 + 500).
(346 + 248) / (500 + 500) = 594 / 1000 = 0.594
Convert this to a percentage:
0.594 x 100 = 59.4%
Therefore, 59.4% of the total polled residents would vote for Candidate A as the town mayor.
