Question

volleyball game was 1,000. The actual attendance was
1,632. What is the percent error of Shaun's estimate?
Round to the nearest whole percent

Answer 1

38.72%

Explanation:

Estimated attendance = 1,000

The actual value of attendance = 1,632

We need to find the percent error of Shaun's estimate. Using the formula as follows :

`\%=\frac{|\text{actual value-estimated value}|}{\text{actual value}}* 100`

Put all the values,

`\%=(1632-1000)/(1632)* 100\\\\=38.72\%`

So, the percent error of Shaun's estimate is 38.72%.
