Question

sydney predicted the that it would snow 5 days Last winter but it actually snowed one week. What is the percent error?

Answer 1

There is 28.57% error in Sydney's calculations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

John's prediction = Approx value = 5 days

Actually snowed = Exact value = 1 week = 7 days

Percent error = $\frac{|aprrox-exact|}{exact}*100$

$Percent\ error=\frac{|5-7|}{7}*100\\Percent\ error=\frac{|-2|}{7}*100\\Percent\ error=\frac{|-200|}{7}\\Percent\ error=28.57\%$

There is 28.57% error in Sydney's calculations.
