A university football stadium has 81.500 seats The stadium is at full capacity on game day Layla believes only 79,000 seats are occupied Find the percent error of Layla's prediction Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent. (1 point)
To find the percent error, we use the formula:
Percent Error = (|Predicted Value - Actual Value| / Actual Value) * 100
Given that the actual number of seats occupied is 79,000 and the predicted number is 81,500, the percent error can be calculated as follows:
Percent Error = (|79500 - 81500| / 81500) * 100
Percent Error = (2000 / 81500) * 100
Percent Error ≈ 2.45
Rounding to the nearest hundredth of a percent, the percent error is approximately 2.45%.
To find the percent error of Layla's prediction, you need to calculate the difference between the observed value (79,000) and the actual value (81,500), and then express it as a percentage relative to the actual value.
First, subtract the observed value from the actual value:
81,500 - 79,000 = 2,500
Next, divide the difference by the actual value, and multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage:
(2,500 / 81,500) * 100 ≈ 3.07
Therefore, the percent error of Layla's prediction is approximately 3.07%.
To find the percent error of Layla's prediction, we need to first find the difference between the actual number of seats occupied and the predicted number of seats occupied.
Actual number of seats occupied = 81,500
Predicted number of seats occupied = 79,000
Now we can calculate the difference:
Difference = Actual number of seats occupied - Predicted number of seats occupied
Difference = 81,500 - 79,000
Difference = 2,500
Then we can calculate the percent error using the formula:
Percent Error = (Difference / Actual value) * 100
Percent Error = (2,500 / 81,500) * 100
Percent Error ≈ 3.07
Rounding to the nearest hundredth of a percent, the percent error of Layla's prediction is approximately 3.07%.
