Answer 1

5%

Step-by-step explanation

To find the percentage error, we have to apply the formula:

`\text{ \%error = }\frac{Expected\text{ value}}\cdot100`

The actual number of people is 683 and the expected number of people is 650.

Therefore, the percentage error is:

`\begin{gathered} \text{ \%error = }(|683-650|)/(650)\cdot100 \\ =(33)/(650)\cdot100 \\ \approx5\text{ \%} \end{gathered}`

That is the answer.
