Kisha has a chocolate Labrador retriever named Sam. She believes her dog weighs 60 pounds. Sam’s actual weight is 75 pounds find the percent error

Answer 1

The absolute error is the absolute difference between the recorded weight and the actual weight: |60 - 75| = 15
The percent error is calculated by dividing the absolute error by the actual weight and multiplying by 100: (15/75) * 100 = 20%
Therefore, the percent error is 20%.
