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 sandy soil prefer to grow carrots. round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the percentage chance that farmers with sandy soil prefer to grow carrots, we need to calculate the relative frequency of carrots grown by farmers with sandy soil.

Relative frequency = (number of carrots grown in sandy soil) / (total number of crops grown in sandy soil)
Relative frequency = 120 / 170 = 0.7059

To convert this to a percentage, we multiply by 100:
Percentage chance = 0.7059 * 100 = 70.6%

Therefore, the percentage chance that farmers with sandy soil prefer to grow carrots is 70.6%.
