To find the percentage chance that farmers with rocky soil prefer to grow peppers, we need to calculate the relative frequency of peppers being grown by farmers with rocky soil.
The total number of farmers with rocky soil is 250, and the number of farmers with rocky soil who prefer to grow peppers is 150.
Percentage chance = (Number of farmers with rocky soil who prefer to grow peppers / Total number of farmers with rocky soil) x 100
Percentage chance = (150 / 250) x 100
Percentage chance = 0.6 x 100
Percentage chance = 60%
