A University football stadium has 81,500 seats the stadium is at four capacity on Game Day Layla believes only 79,000 seats are occupied find the percent error of Layla's prediction around your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent
To find the percent error, we first need to find the difference between the predicted number of occupied seats and the actual number of occupied seats.
Difference = Actual number of occupied seats - Predicted number of occupied seats
Difference = 81,500 - 79,000
Difference = 2,500
Next, we divide this difference by the actual number of occupied seats and multiply by 100 to find the percentage.
Percent Error = (Difference / Actual number of occupied seats) * 100
Percent Error = (2,500 / 81,500) * 100
Performing the above calculation, we get:
Percent Error = 3.07
Therefore, the percent error of Layla's prediction is approximately 3.07%.
