Question

10. A local
meteorologist
estimated 3.5 inches of
rain for the month of
April. The actual rainfall
was 5.8 inches. What
was the percent error of
the estimate to the
nearest tenth of a
percent?

Answer 1

Answer:

39.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

(actual value - estimated value) / actual value

5.8 - 3.5 = 2.3

2.3 / 5.8 = 0.3965 = 39.65%
