Answer 1

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

Relative frequency = Number of farmers growing carrots in sandy soil / Total number of farmers with sandy soil

Relative frequency = 120 / 170 = 0.706 (rounded to three decimal places)

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