Based on the data provided, the first sample had 346 residents predicting one candidate would win, while 154 residents predicted the other candidate would win. In the second sample, 248 residents predicted one candidate would win, while 252 residents predicted the other candidate would win.
To determine who is most likely to win the election for town mayor, we can calculate the percentages of residents in each sample who predicted each candidate would win:
Sample 1:
Candidate A: 346/500 = 69.2%
Candidate B: 154/500 = 30.8%
Sample 2:
Candidate A: 248/500 = 49.6%
Candidate B: 252/500 = 50.4%
It appears that Candidate B has the higher percentage of predicted votes in both samples. Therefore, based on this poll data, Candidate B is most likely to win the election for town mayor.
