While attending a major league baseball game, you think you can guess the attendance within 10% of the actual value. If the announced attendance is 44,000, within what number of people would your guess have to be in order for you to support your claim?

Do the equation 44,000 * 10% to find your answer. This is because you need to find 10% OF (of is *) 44,000. I hoped this helped!

Your margin of error has to be +/- 10% of 44,000
10% of 44,000 is 4400
Your guess would have to be within 4400 of 40,000
The acceptable range would be between 35,600 and 44,400
