To find the percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts, we need to add up the number of people in Sample 1 and Sample 2 who prefer cashew nuts, and then divide by the total number of people in both samples.
Sample 1: 63 people prefer cashew nuts
Sample 2: 61 people prefer cashew nuts
Total: 63 + 61 = 124 people prefer cashew nuts
Percentage: (124/400) x 100 = 31%
Therefore, 31% of the people in the two samples prefer cashew nuts.
