To calculate the percentage chance that if a farmer prefers to grow carrots they have rocky soil, we need to look at the number of farmers who grow carrots in rocky soil divided by the total number of farmers who grow carrots.
Percentage chance = (Number of farmers growing carrots in rocky soil / Total number of farmers growing carrots) x 100
In this case, there are 100 farmers who grow carrots in rocky soil out of a total of 220 farmers who grow carrots.
Percentage chance = (100/220) x 100 = 45.5%
Therefore, the percentage chance that if a farmer prefers to grow carrots they have rocky soil is 45.5%.
Answer: 45.5%
