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 hearest hundredth of a percent. (1 point)
To find the percent error, we first need to find the absolute error. The absolute error is the difference between the predicted value and the actual value.
Absolute Error = Actual Value - Predicted Value = 81500 - 79000 = 2500
Next, we need to find the percent error. The percent error is calculated by dividing the absolute error by the actual value and then multiplying by 100.
Percent Error = (Absolute Error / Actual Value) * 100 = (2500 / 81500) * 100 = 3.07%
Therefore, the percent error of Layla's prediction is 3.07%.
