∻Solution by Steps∻ ‖ step 1 ⋮ Calculate the absolute error for Judy's estimate: $|325 - 452| = 127$ ‖ ‖ step 2 ⋮ Calculate the absolute error for Atticus's estimate: $|600 - 452| = 148$ ‖ ‖ step 3 ⋮ Determine who is closer by comparing the absolute errors: $127 < 148$, so Judy is closer. ‖ ‖ step 4 ⋮ Calculate the percent error for Judy's estimate: $\left(\frac{127}{452} ight) imes 100 \approx 28.1\%$ ‖ ‖ step 5 ⋮ Calculate the percent error for Atticus's estimate: $\left(\frac{148}{452} ight) imes 100 \approx 32.7\%$ ‖ ‖ step 6 ⋮ Find the difference between the percent errors: $32.7\% - 28.1\% = 4.6\%$ ‖ ∻Answer∻ ⚹ Judy is closer in her estimate. The difference between the percent errors is 4.6%. ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Percent Error Calculation⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹Percent error is calculated by taking the absolute error, dividing it by the actual value, and then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. This helps in comparing the accuracy of different estimates.⚹◊What is the percent error for Judy's estimate of the number of people at the fair⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
