Answer 1

To calculate the percentage chance that farmers with rocky soil prefer growing peppers, we need to use the relative frequencies provided in the survey data.

Let's say that out of 100 farmers surveyed:
- 50 farmers have rocky soil
- 30 out of those 50 farmers prefer growing peppers

So, the relative frequency of farmers with rocky soil who prefer growing peppers is 30/50 = 0.6

Converting this to a percentage, we get 0.6 * 100 = 60%

Therefore, the percentage chance that farmers with rocky soil prefer growing peppers is 60.0% (rounded to the nearest tenth).
