A 42.55%42.55%
B 40.63%40.63%
C 64.82%64.82%
D 68.42%
To calculate the percent error, we can use the formula:
Percent Error = (|Predicted Value - Actual Value| / Actual Value) * 100
In this case, the predicted temperature is 64°F and the actual temperature is 38°F.
Percent Error = (|64 - 38| / 38) * 100
= (26 / 38) * 100
≈ 68.42%
Therefore, the correct answer is D) 68.42%.
