To find the percentage chance that farmers with rocky soil prefer growing peppers, we need to find the relative frequency of farmers with rocky soil who prefer peppers.
The relative frequency is calculated by dividing the frequency of farmers with rocky soil who prefer peppers (150) by the total number of farmers with rocky soil (250).
Relative frequency = Frequency of farmers with rocky soil who prefer peppers / Total number of farmers with rocky soil
Relative frequency = 150 / 250 = 0.6
To convert the relative frequency to a percentage, we multiply by 100.
Percentage chance = Relative frequency * 100 = 0.6 * 100 = 60
Therefore, the percentage chance that farmers with rocky soil prefer growing peppers is 60%. Answer: 60.0%
