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)

Question

О 3.07%
• 90.3067%
• 0.0307%
0-3.07%

Answer 1

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

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

In this case, the predicted value is 79,000 and the actual value is 81,500.

Percent Error = (|79,000 - 81,500| / 81,500) * 100

Percent Error = (2,500 / 81,500) * 100

Percent Error ≈ 3.0678%

Rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percent, the percent error of Layla's prediction is 3.07%.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
О 3.07%
