Question
A local carnival features a booth where a person guesses the participant's age. Suppose that a 22-year-old person has his age guessed as 30 years.
(a) Compute the absolute error. (Simplify your answer completely.)
AE = 8
Interpret the result.
This is the ratio of the guesser's estimate to the participant's age.
The guesser's estimate had this percent error.
The guesser estimates a person's age correctly this proportion of the time.
The guesser's estimate was off by this much relative to the participant's age.
The guesser's estimate was off by this many years.
(b)
Compute the relative error. Round to three decimal places. (Simplify your answer completely.)
RE = 0.260
Interpret the result.
This is the ratio of the guesser's estimate to the participant's age.
The guesser's estimate had this percent error.
The guesser estimates a person's age correctly this proportion of the time.
O The guesser's estimate was off by this much relative to the participant's age.
The guesser's estimate was off by this many years.
