Q. As part of a math lesson on probability, Mr. Keen rolled a standard die 3030 times. He predicted the die would land on three 55 times. He actually rolled a three 88 times. What is the percent error for his prediction?\newlineIf necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.\newline\newline__%\_\_\%
  1. Calculate Difference: Calculate the difference between the predicted and actual outcomes.\newlineDifference = ActualPredicted\text{Actual} - \text{Predicted}\newlineDifference = 85=38 - 5 = 3
  2. Calculate Percent Error: Calculate the percent error using the formula: Percent Error = (Difference/Predicted)×100%(|\text{Difference}| / \text{Predicted}) \times 100\%Percent Error=(3/5)×100%=60%\text{Percent Error} = (|3 / 5|) \times 100\% = 60\%
