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