Respuesta :

Answer:

Percentage Error in counting the marbles in the jar is 39.72%

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimated marbles in the jar = 44

Actual marbles in the jar  = 73

Error in  Marbles  =  Number of actual Marbles - Estimated marbles

                                 =   73  - 44 = 29

So, the error in counting marbles in the jar is 29.

Now, [tex]\textrm{Percentage Error}  = \frac{\textrm{Error in the Data}}{\textrm{Actual Data}}  \times 100[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{29}{73}  \times 100  = 39.72[/tex]

or, Percentage Error  =  39.72%

Hence, the Percentage Error in counting the marbles in the jar is 39.72%
