To find the percentage chance that farmers with sandy soil prefer to grow carrots, we need to calculate the relative frequency of farmers with sandy soil who prefer to grow carrots.
The total number of farmers with sandy soil is 170 (from the table). The number of farmers with sandy soil who prefer to grow carrots is 120.
To find the relative frequency, we divide the number of farmers with sandy soil who prefer to grow carrots by the total number of farmers with sandy soil:
120 / 170 = 0.7059
Multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage:
0.7059 x 100 = 70.6%
Therefore, the percentage chance that farmers with sandy soil prefer to grow carrots is approximately 70.6%.
