To find the percentage chance that farmers with rocky soil prefer growing peppers, we need to calculate the relative frequency of peppers grown in rocky soil.
Relative frequency = Number of peppers grown in rocky soil / Total number of crops grown in rocky soil
Relative frequency = 150 / 250
Relative frequency = 0.6
To convert this to a percentage, we multiply by 100:
0.6 * 100 = 60%
Therefore, the percentage chance that farmers with rocky soil prefer growing peppers is 60.0%.
Correct answer: 60.0%
