The predicted number of attendees was 276. The actual number of attendees was 265. To find the percent error, we need to subtract the actual value from the predicted value, divide by the predicted value, and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
Percent Error = ((Predicted Value - Actual Value) / Predicted Value) * 100
= ((276 - 265) / 276) * 100
= (11 / 276) * 100
= 0.039855072 * 100
= 3.99
Rounded to the nearest hundredth percent, the percent error is 3.99%.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
O 3.99%
