Concept explainers
To find: Predicted, actual population and percent error.
Answer to Problem 36HP
Predicted population =
Actual population
Percent error
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Student population at present
Student population predicted to rise
Actually, population rose
Percent error
Where
From given information
Student population at present
Student population predicted to rise
Predicted value of population after five years = student population at present
Therefore
Predicted value =
Student population at present
Actual value of population after five years = student population at present
Actual value =
Absolute value = predicted value
Therefore,
Percent error
Therefore
Predicted population =
Actual population
Percent error
