Question

A survey of Ghasi's customers showed that 1,200 of the customers buying yarn would buy bamboo yarn. In the first month, 725 customers actually bought bamboo yarn. What was the percent error in the survey estimate of the number of people buying bamboo yarn? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

expected customers= 1200

actual customers= 725

the percent error= (actual-expected)/expected

substituting the given values we have'

%error=725-1200/1200

%error=475/1200

%error=0.395

To the nearest tenth we have 0.4

%error=0.4*100

%error=40%

Hence the percent error is 40%
