Answer 1

To find the percent error, we can use the formula:

Percent Error = (|Actual Value - Predicted Value| / Predicted Value) * 100

Let's calculate it:

Percent Error = (|19.75 - 30.00| / 30.00) * 100
Percent Error = (10.25 / 30.00) * 100
Percent Error ≈ 34.167 * 100
Percent Error ≈ 34.167%

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the percent error is 34%.

Therefore, the right answer is not provided in the given options.
