Use the table to answer the question. Carrots Peppers Totals Sandy Soil 120 50 170 Rocky Soil 100 150 250 Totals 220 200 420 Examine the data from a survey of farmers about their different soil types and the crops they prefer to grow. Using relative frequencies, what is the percentage chance that farmers with sandy soil prefer to grow carrots? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
To determine the percentage chance that farmers with sandy soil prefer to grow carrots, we need to find the relative frequency of farmers with sandy soil who prefer to grow carrots.
The number of farmers with sandy soil who prefer to grow carrots is 120.
The total number of farmers is 420.
The relative frequency is calculated by dividing the number of farmers with sandy soil who prefer to grow carrots by the total number of farmers:
Relative frequency = 120 / 420
To express the relative frequency as a percentage, we need to multiply it by 100:
Percentage = (120 / 420) * 100
Calculating the percentage, we get:
Percentage = 28.6
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the percentage chance is approximately 28.6%.
