Question

there was a dunk booth at the school fair. you guessed it would take 15 throws to dunk Mr. King. on your 4th throw you dunked Mr. King. find your percent error.

Answer 1

The percent error is 73.33%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent error, you need to compare the actual number of throws it took to dunk Mr. King with the estimated number of throws. The formula for percent error is |(actual - estimated)/estimated| * 100. In this case, the estimated number of throws was 15, but it actually only took 4 throws. So the percent error would be |(4 - 15)/15| * 100 = 73.33%.

Answer 2

find your percent error.​

Procedure

`\textMeasured value-True value|\textTrue value`
`\begin{gathered} PE=(|15-4|)/(|4|)\cdot100 \\ PE=(11)/(4)\cdot100 \\ PE=2.75\cdot100 \\ PE=275 \end{gathered}`
