To calculate the percentage chance that farmers with rocky soil prefer growing peppers, we need to find the relative frequency of peppers grown in rocky soil.
Relative frequency = (Number of peppers grown in rocky soil) / (Total number of farmers with rocky soil)
Relative frequency of peppers in rocky soil = 150 / 250 = 0.6
Convert the relative frequency to a percentage by multiplying by 100:
0.6 * 100 = 60%
Therefore, the percentage chance that farmers with rocky soil prefer growing peppers is 60% when rounded to the nearest tenth.
The answer is: 60.0%
