Answer:
Zookeepers percent error was 20%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Zookeepers Prediction of weight = 2.8 pounds
Actual weight = 3.5 pounds
Zookeepers error = Actual weight - Zookeepers Prediction of weight = 3.5 - 2.8 = 0.7 pounds
Now to find the percent error we divide the error by actual weight and then multiply by 100
Zookeepers percent error = [tex]\frac{\textrm{Zookeepers error}}{\textrm{actual Weight}}\times100 =\frac{0.7}{3.5}\times100 = 20\%[/tex]
Hence Zookeepers percent error is 20%.
