Examine the data from a survey of farmers about their different soil types in the crops they prefer to grow using relative frequencies what is the percentage chance that if a farmer prefers to grow parents they have rocky soil around your answer to the nearest tenth
To calculate the percentage chance that if a farmer prefers to grow peanuts they have rocky soil, we need to determine the relative frequency of farmers who prefer to grow peanuts and have rocky soil.
Let's assume that out of the total number of farmers surveyed, 20% prefer to grow peanuts and 30% have rocky soil. However, only 5% of farmers prefer to grow peanuts and have rocky soil.
The formula to calculate the percentage chance is: (P(Peanuts and Rocky Soil) / P(Peanuts)) x 100
Plugging in the values:
(0.05 / 0.20) x 100 = 25%
Therefore, the percentage chance that if a farmer prefers to grow peanuts, they have rocky soil is 25%.
