To find the percentage chance that farmers with rocky soil prefer growing peppers, we need to calculate the relative frequency of peppers in rocky soil.
Relative frequency of peppers in rocky soil = Number of peppers in rocky soil / Total number of crops in rocky soil = 150 / 250 = 0.6
To convert this to a percentage, we multiply by 100:
0.6 x 100 = 60%
Therefore, the percentage chance that farmers with rocky soil prefer growing peppers is 60%.
