Step-by-step explanation

Since he only made 13 from 19 throws, the percent error is as shown as follows:


Percent\text{ error=}(\parallel measured-real\parallel)/(real)*100

Plugging in the numbers into the expression:


Percent\text{ error=}(\parallel19-13\parallel)/(13)*100

Subtracting numbers:


Percent\text{ error=}(6)/(13)*100

Multiplying terms:


Percent\text{ error=46.15\%}

In conclusion, the percent error was 46.15%
