A university football stadium has 81,500 seats. The stadium is at full capacity on game day. Mava believes only 79,000 CJ occupied find the percent error of Legos prediction found your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent.
A. -3.07%
B. 90.3067
C. 3.07%
D. 0.0307%
To find the percent error, we can use the formula:
Percent Error = (Observed Value - Predicted Value) / Predicted Value * 100
In this case, the observed value is 79,000 and the predicted value is 81,500. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
Percent Error = (79,000 - 81,500) / 81,500 * 100
Percent Error = -2500 / 81,500 * 100
Percent Error ≈ -3.07%
Therefore, the best answer is A. -3.07%
