To calculate the percentage chance that if a farmer prefers to grow carrots they have rocky soil, we need to look at the number of carrots grown in rocky soil compared to the total number of carrots grown.
In rocky soil, 100 carrots were grown out of a total of 220 carrots grown overall.
Percentage chance = (Number of carrots grown in rocky soil / Total number of carrots grown) * 100
= (100/220) * 100
= 45.5%
Therefore, the percentage chance that if a farmer prefers to grow carrots they have rocky soil is 45.5%.
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 if a farmer prefers to grow carrots they have rocky soil? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
