Answer 1

To find the percent error in their prediction, we first calculate the difference between the predicted and actual number of attendees:

275 - 265 = 10

Then, we divide the difference by the predicted number of attendees and multiply by 100 to get the percent:
(10 / 275) * 100 = 3.63%

Therefore, the correct answer is 3.63%.
