Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts can be calculated by adding the number of people who prefer cashew nuts in both samples (63 + 61 = 124) and dividing by the total number of people in both samples (200 + 200 = 400).

This gives us 124/400 = 0.31 or 31%, so the correct answer is:

31%
