Question

While attending a major league baseball game, you think you can guess the attendance within 10% of the actual value. If the announced attendance is 44,000, within what number of people would your guess have to be in order for you to support your claim?

Answer 1

Do the equation 44,000 * 10% to find your answer. This is because you need to find 10% OF (of is *) 44,000. I hoped this helped!

Answer 2

Your margin of error has to be +/- 10% of 44,000
10% of 44,000 is 4400
Your guess would have to be within 4400 of 40,000
The acceptable range would be between 35,600 and 44,400
