Question

marcus estimates that 230 people witll attend the choir concernt. the actual total that attended was 300 people. find the percent error

Answer 1

Your percent error is the difference of the estimated value and the accepted value divided by the accepted value, then multiplied by 100. So it would be (230-300)/300)x100, which would be (-70/300)x100 which then equals a -23.3% error
