Answer:
Percentage error of zookeeper's prediction = 10.70%
Step-by-step explanation:
Weight of baby elephant predicted by zookeeper = 267 pounds
Actual weight of the elephant = 299 pounds
Percent Error = [tex]\frac{\left |Predicted\ weight- Actulal\ weight\right|} {Actual weight}\times 100[/tex] [tex]=\frac{\left |267-299\right |}{299}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{\left |-32\right |}{299}\times 100[/tex][tex]=\frac{32}{299}\times 100[/tex] [tex]=10.70\%[/tex]
