The deer population is estimated to be 17,600 in northern
Illinois, but an actual count was 21,300. What is the percent
error?

Respuesta :

The percentage error in the deer population is 17%

Actual population = 21300

Estimated population = 17600

The percentage error will be calculated by subtracting the estimated population from the actual population and then dividing the result. This will be:

= (Actual population - Estimated population) / Actual population × 100

= (21300 - 17600) / 21300 × 100

= 3700/21300 × 100

= 0.17 × 100

= 17%

Therefore, the percentage error in the deer population is 17%
