Answer:percent error in Joey's measurement to the nearest 10th of a percent =- 4.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Time as recorded by the stopwatch = 4.82 seconds

Real Time it takes for a Frisbee to fly through the air =5.05 seconds

percent error = Measured value – True Value /True value x 100.

= 4.82 - 5.05 / 5.05 x 100

=-0.23/5.05

=-0.0455 x 100

=4.5544%

Rounding to nearest 10th of a percent = - 4.6%
