To find the percentage of total residents who would vote for Candidate A, we need to add up the number of votes for Candidate A in both samples.
Sample 1: 346
Sample 2: 248
Total votes for Candidate A = 346 + 248 = 594
Now, we can find the percentage of total residents who would vote for Candidate A:
Total residents polled = 500 (Sample 1) + 500 (Sample 2) = 1000
Percentage of total residents voting for Candidate A = (594/1000) * 100% = 59.4%
Therefore, 59.4% of the total polled residents would vote for Candidate A as the town mayor.
