To find the percentage chance that farmers with sandy soil prefer to grow carrots using relative frequencies, we divide the number of farmers with sandy soil who prefer to grow carrots by the total number of farmers with sandy soil, and then multiply by 100.
The number of farmers with sandy soil who prefer to grow carrots is 120.
The total number of farmers with sandy soil is 170.
To find the percentage, we can use the formula:
(120/170) * 100 = 70.6%
Therefore, the percentage chance that farmers with sandy soil prefer to grow carrots is 70.6% rounded to the nearest tenth.
Use the table to answer the question.
