Question

What is the amount of error in Lamont's estimate is

Answer 1

The percentage of error is given by:

`Error=(|Measured-Real|)/(Real)*100`

Where:

Measured = 160

Real = 159

so:

`Error=(|160-159|)/(159)*100=(1)/(159)*100\approx0.6`

Answer:

0.6%

8a.

Amount of error = Measured - real = 160 - 159 = 1
