To calculate the percentage chance that farmers with sandy soil prefer to grow carrots, we need to look at the relative frequency of sandy soil farmers who grow carrots.
The number of farmers with sandy soil who grow carrots is 120.
The total number of farmers surveyed is 420.
So, the relative frequency of farmers with sandy soil who grow carrots is:
(120 / 420) x 100% = 28.6%
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the percentage chance that farmers with sandy soil prefer to grow carrots is 28.6%.
Use the table to answer the question.
