Answer 1

The percent error in the meteorologist's forecast for Monday is 5.26316 %

Solution:

Given that Monday's high temperature would be 76°F

On Monday,  the temperature reached 80°F

To find:  percent error in the meteorologist's forecast for Monday

Percent error is the difference between a measured and known value, divided by the known value, multiplied by 100%

The percent error is given as:

$\text {percent error }=\frac{\text {observed - standard}}{\text { standard value}} \times 100$

Here standard value = 76 and observed value on monday = 80

$\text { percent error }=\frac{80-76}{76} \times 100$

$\text { percent error }=\frac{4}{76} \times 100=5.26316 \%$

Thus percent error in the meteorologist's forecast for Monday is 5.26316 %
