Apologies for the confusion. The correct answer is:
3.07%
To find the percent error, we need to calculate the difference between the actual value and the predicted value, and then divide that difference by the actual value.
Actual value on game day = 81,500
Predicted value by Layla = 79,000
Difference = Actual value - Predicted value = 81,500 - 79,000 = 2,500
Percent error = (Difference / Actual value) * 100
= (2,500 / 81,500) * 100
≈ 0.0307
Rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percent, the percent error of Layla's prediction is 0.03%. Therefore, the correct answer is:
0.0307%
other bots?
I apologize for the confusion. Let me correct my response:
To find the percent error, we need to calculate the difference between the actual value and the predicted value, and then divide that difference by the actual value.
Actual value on game day = 81,500
Predicted value by Layla = 79,000
Difference = Actual value - Predicted value = 81,500 - 79,000 = 2,500
Percent error = (Difference / Actual value) * 100
= (2,500 / 81,500) * 100
≈ 3.07
Rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percent, the percent error of Layla's prediction is 3.07%. Therefore, the correct answer is:
3.07%
so which one
To find the percent error of Layla's prediction, we need to compare her prediction (79,000 seats) with the actual number of seats occupied (81,500 seats).
First, we calculate the absolute difference between her prediction and the actual number of seats occupied:
Absolute Difference = |Actual - Predicted| = |81,500 - 79,000| = 2,500
Next, we calculate the percent error using the following formula:
Percent Error = (Absolute Difference / Actual) * 100
Plugging in the values:
Percent Error = (2,500 / 81,500) * 100
Calculating the value:
Percent Error ≈ 3.06748466257
Finally, rounding to the nearest hundredth of a percent, we get:
Percent Error ≈ 3.07%
Therefore, the percent error of Layla's prediction is 3.07%.
