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 change that farmers with
sandy soil prefer to grow carrots? Round your
answers o the nearest tenth.
Sandy Soil: 120, 50, 170
Rocky Soil: 100, 150, 250
Totals: 220, 200, 420
To find the percentage of farmers with sandy soil who prefer to grow carrots, first find the total number of farmers who prefer to grow carrots:
Total number of farmers who prefer to grow carrots = 120 (sandy soil) + 100 (rocky soil) = 220
Then, find the percentage of farmers with sandy soil who prefer to grow carrots:
Percentage = (120 / 220) * 100 = 54.5%
Therefore, the percentage of farmers with sandy soil who prefer to grow carrots is 54.5%.
