1. **State the problem:**
We want to find the probability that at least 7 out of 8 sunflowers grow to be six feet tall based on Chad's simulation results.
2. **Understand the data:**
The table shows the number of trials (out of 1000) for each count of sunflowers growing tall (numbers at most 8):
- 7 sunflowers tall: 335 trials
- 8 sunflowers tall: 165 trials
3. **Formula for probability:**
$$\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable trials}}{\text{Total trials}}$$
4. **Calculate the probability for at least 7 sunflowers tall:**
$$P(\text{at least 7}) = P(7) + P(8) = \frac{335}{1000} + \frac{165}{1000}$$
5. **Add the probabilities:**
$$P(\text{at least 7}) = \frac{335 + 165}{1000} = \frac{500}{1000}$$
6. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$\frac{500}{1000} = \frac{\cancel{500}}{\cancel{1000}} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$$
7. **Convert to percentage:**
$$0.5 \times 100 = 50\%$$
**Final answer:**
The probability that at least 7 of the sunflowers will grow to be six feet tall is **50%**.
