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 prefer to grow carrots if they have rocky soil. round your answer to the nearest tenth
To find the percentage chance that farmers prefer to grow carrots if they have rocky soil, we need to calculate the relative frequency of farmers choosing carrots out of the total number of farmers with rocky soil.
The total number of farmers with rocky soil is 250.
The number of farmers with rocky soil who prefer carrots is 100.
So, the relative frequency of farmers with rocky soil who prefer carrots is:
(100 / 250) * 100% = 40%
Therefore, the percentage chance that farmers prefer to grow carrots if they have rocky soil is 40%.
