Answer 1

To find the relative frequency of farmers with sandy soil who prefer to grow carrots, we can use the formula:

Frequency of farmers with sandy soil who prefer to grow carrots / Total frequency of farmers with sandy soil

This would be:

120 / 170 = 0.706 or 70.6%

Therefore, the percentage chance that farmers with sandy soil prefer to grow carrots is 70.6%.
The correct answer is: 70.6%
