it was estimated that 800 people would attend the play, but 752 people actually attended.
What is the percent error to the nearest percent, of the estimate? Enter the answer in the box
[ ] percent error
To find the percent error, we need to calculate the difference between the estimated and actual number of attendees, divide it by the estimated number, and then multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.
The difference between the estimated and actual number of attendees is 800 - 752 = 48.
Now, we can calculate the percent error:
Percent Error = (|48 / 800|) × 100
Percent Error ≈ 6%
Therefore, the percent error to the nearest percent of the estimate is 6%.
