To find the percentage chance that farmers with rocky soil prefer growing peppers, we need to calculate the relative frequency of farmers with rocky soil who prefer growing peppers.
Relative frequency = number of farmers with rocky soil who prefer growing peppers / total number of farmers with rocky soil
Relative frequency = 150 / 250 = 0.6
To convert this relative frequency to a percentage, we multiply by 100:
Percentage chance = 0.6 * 100 = 60%
Therefore, farmers with rocky soil have a 60% chance of preferring to grow peppers.
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. (1 point) Responses
