Using relative frequencies, what is the percentage chance that if a farmer prefers to grow carrots they have rocky soil? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. (1 point)
To find the percentage chance that if a farmer prefers to grow carrots they have rocky soil, we need to calculate the relative frequency of farmers who prefer to grow carrots and have rocky soil.
Relative frequency = Number of farmers growing carrots in rocky soil / Total number of farmers growing carrots
Number of farmers growing carrots in rocky soil = 100
Total number of farmers growing carrots = 220
Relative frequency = 100/220 = 0.4545
Percentage chance = Relative frequency x 100% = 0.4545 x 100% = 45.5%
Therefore, the percentage chance that if a farmer prefers to grow carrots they have rocky soil is 45.5%.
