Question

Mark estimates that the distance from his house to his school is 15.5 mi. The actual distance is 14.5 mi. To the nearest 10th of a percent, what is the percent Error in Marks estimate

Answer 1

Answer: The percent Error in marks estimate is 6.9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimated distance= 15.5 mi

Actual distance= 14.5 mi

Error= mod(estimated-actual)= mod(15.5-14.5)= 1

%Error= Error/Actual*100= 1/14.5*100= 6.9%

%Error= 6.9%
