ANSWER

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.
