Answer:
The error percentage was 59.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
John predicts his football team will score 67 points in the next game.
Prediction score = 67
But John's team actually scored 42 points.
Actual scored = 42
We need to find the error percentage of John's using formula.
[tex]\%=\dfrac{\text{|Prediction-exact|}}{exact}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\%=\dfrac{\text{|67-42|}}{42}\times 100[/tex]
Percentage error [tex]=\dfrac{25}{42}\times 100 [/tex]
[tex]=59.52\%[/tex]
We need to round off to nearest tenth.
Hence, The percentage error was 59.5%
