Question

PLEASE HELP

Connor and Angie helped take attendance during their school's practice
fire drill. Connor counted 470 in attendance and Angie counted 479. The
actual attendance was 470. What is the percent error? (ROUND TO THE
NEAREST TENTH.) *
0.019
1.2%
1.9%
12%

Answer 1

Answer: 1.9%

Explanation:

The percent error formula is
`(accepted-experimental)/(accepted)` so input our values also keep in mind when we do percent error we use absolute error which means no negative percentages so 470-479/470= -9/470 or 9/470

as a decimal 9/470 is 0.019 or 1.9% so the answer is 1.9%
