To find the percentage chance that farmers with rocky soil prefer growing peppers, you need to calculate the relative frequency of peppers on rocky soil.
Relative frequency = Number of peppers on rocky soil / Total number of farmers with rocky soil
Relative frequency of peppers on rocky soil = 150 / 250 = 0.6
Convert this to percentage by multiplying by 100:
0.6 * 100 = 60%
Therefore, the percentage chance that farmers with rocky soil prefer growing peppers is 60%.
The answer is 60.0%.
Use the table to answer the question.
Carrots Peppers Totals
Sandy Soil 120 50 170
Rocky Soil 100 150 250
Totals 220 200 420
Examine the data from a survey of farmers about their different soil types and the crops they prefer to grow. Using relative frequencies, what is the percentage chance that farmers with rocky soil prefer growing peppers? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
